I loved the idea and story behind this book. The exploration of obsession through the lens of “big listing” and birding was fascinating. Parts of the personal stories were moving and at times heart wrenching. I connected with many of the characters in different ways for different reasons.

My only critique is a small one. There were a few times that the book seemed to repeat itself. An idea or statement would reappear later on in the story, almost verbatim. It gave me a weird sense of deja vu, as if I had read this chapter before.

Otherwise a great read!
