Not for the faint of heart. It is a BIG book, long and dense. There are two sides to the novel: there's a third person authorial voice that layers on incredible reams of facts about trees and plants and science, and then there are a handful of human characters who start out wholly separated and end up merging in radical protest against logging and commercial forces destroying the American forest.
The one problem for me is that the tree-speaking tends to dwarf the human speaking.
The humans move at lightning pace, compared to trees which have been around for thousands of years, in some cases.
