Reviews
"Told in terse sentences that can read like stanzas of poetry. . .this brief but powerful book is unforgettable." -Stephen J. Lyons, "Chicago Sun-Times ""Verlyn Klinkenborg is neither naturalist nor nature poet, but he writes about nature with the science of the former and the soul of the latter. . .To read him is to wonder: How does he notice all those little things? And how does he make all those little things, seemingly meaningless and mundane, add up to such big ideas about beauty, grace, and the mysteries of natural life?" -Josh Kun, "Los Angeles Times" "Charming and most enjoyable. . .Klinkenborg's prose is a pleasure to read." -Richard Adams, The New York Times ..."what [this] engaging reptile has to say will stay with readers long after they close the pages of this astonishing book..." -Carol Herman, "The" "Washington Times " "[A] masterfully imagined meditation on nature, biography, memory, legacy, faith and the cruelty of good intentions. . . [Timothy] is utterly spellbinding. . ." "-"Margaria Fichtner," The Miami Herald" .."something rather magical occurs in these pages early on. Our human blindfolds fall away. Timothy comes down off the shelf of the Natural History Museum and comes alive, delivering what to me is the most satisfying meditation on life and the natural world since Marilynne Robinson's "Gilead."" -Alan Cheuse, "Chicago Tribune" "[A] delightful example of natural history with the tables turned. . ." -Stuart Ferguson, "The Wall Street Journal " "'Timothy' is a triumph of imagination and execution." -Daniel Dyer, "Plain Dealer " "Fleshe[d] out with an imaginative empathy that surpasses any mereantiquarian fancy and suggests that White's stout faith in creaturely intelligence is still in good hands...Klinkenborg's book is a small gem." -David Barber, "The" "Boston Globe " "A dazzling riff on human beings and their weird ways 'written' by an 18th-century tortoise...On virtually every page is a phrase or sentence that entertains or amuses or informs." -"Kirkus" "Hilarious and revealing...Verlyn Klinkenborg's perception of the interconnectedness of life is sublime." -Donna Seaman, "Booklist "Lyrical phrases flow like poetry...a delightful little book." -Maureen J. Delaney-Lehman, "Library Journal " "[A] gorgeous hybrid of naturalist observation, novelistic invention and philosophical meditation...studied, beautiful reflections on the present and memory, earth and weather, love and utility, human and beast. This is a wholly unexpected and astonishing book." -"Publishers Weekly ", "Charming and most enjoyable." The New York Times "Marvelously entertaining. . . . [Klinkenborg] affirm[s] nature, simply by giving it a voice. In the din of our times, that may be one voice worth listening to." The Boston Globe "Klinkenborg is neither naturalist nor nature poet, but he writes about nature with the science of the former and the soul of the latter." Los Angeles Times "Magical. . . .

Never received the item the first time it was supposedly sent. Almost 100% sure it was forgotten to be put in the parcel for the combined shipping with another item, although I was told to wait and it was a separate shipping. Contacted them again. Was told they would send a replacement and to wait 5-15 days. Never received notification of shipping and never received the second copy either. Leaving negative review before the time for feedback expires. Waiting word on refund. Buyer beware!
