Fun story of birds and people in the park May 11, 2004 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really enjoyed this book. It is lively and descriptive, and I believe it would be interesting to anyone who opened her mind while she opened the cover. I happen to find birds beautiful but the story is of greater scope than that, appealing in its description of the breadth of wildlife in the middle of NYC, and for the depth of the story of the birds so many people came to care about. I give this book four stars because I didn't find the writing to be impeccable, but still found it clear and the plots compelling. A few weeks ago while visiting NYC I looked for the birds, the building, and the birders, who seem like such dynamic people in Ms. Winn's stories.
