 What a waste of money! May 21, 2010

They had to be joking when they wrote this book. The first chapter pretends to prove plants have ESP because the needle jumps when plants are attached to lie detector machines. Then guesses are made as to what the moving needle means, such as "plants are sentient beings, plants have emotions, and plants can read minds." Give me a break! A lie detector measures electricity; electricity is produced as cells goes about the business of living. The authors top this off by informing us that the "scientist" performing these experiments offered his studies to the world for testing and replication -- in The International Journal of Parapsychology. Enough said!
Appauled that this is "required" reading for my Herb course January 27, 2010

This book is bad. It has small nuggets of truth here and there, mixed with a whole bunch of crap. It's a throwback to the 60's new age crowd who thrives on nature worship. I love plants, don't get me wrong, but I'm not going to pretend my plant can "talk" to me or feel scared that I'm about to eat it. Don't waste the money. Get a herb book from a reputable herbalist or botanist.
 Secret life of plants: an interesting read. October 19, 2009

I thought the book was interesting enough to buy, which doesn't happen to me very often.
Whether you agree with the theories or not doesn't really matter... it's the possibilities that are very interesting. I enjoyed reading the book, but that doesn't mean I agree with every statement in it. I think it's very thought provoking, and definitely worth a buy.

This eye-opening book tells the amazing stories of numerous scientists who revealed aspects of plants that the average person would never think possible. You will never look at a plant the same way again!
Amazing Read! March 4, 2009

The Secret Life of Plants takes Plant Spirit shamanic understanding to an entirely new level. I am beyond impressed with this read. Don't say that lightly. If you've ever felt drawn to Plants or the woods, this book will explain why and what that pull is on a subconscious level. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to expand their perception of nature's wisdom and energy as a whole.
