The way Stephen Yafa writes, you forget you're reading about a plant. It's like reading about a hero/friend/neighbor. It's a very easy read - not technical so that you feel you need a degree. It kept me interested and along the way, I was learning without feeling like I was being taught. It wasn't so impossible to put down, but you always wanted to get back to it to see where the story would lead next. It was quite a surprise for me.
