Green Mansions (Dodo Press) (Paperback)

from dbsovereign

Great story, wonderfully told. Simply a classic. Action, adventure, romance - it has it all.

from perlle

A hunting tale about the complications of peoples' first contacts. I read this when I was a teenager, so the details are a bit foggy now, but I still find the story haunting and the ending shocking.

from charlie68

This book reads well on many different levels. Many are the references to other literature and the prose is very lyrical and deep. Highly recommend.

from Goodwillbooks

This is a classic, beautifully written, ultimately tragic story of love, and then revenge, in the South American jungle. Does Abel represent civilized man, who, when his ultimate desire - a higher level of consciousness - is taken from him, reverts to the savages with whom he originally consorts?...

from jennyscout

While I believe that most modern readers would appreciate the nature observations to be found in this novel or find the philosophical and historical perspective interesting, only a very small (I presume or hope) audience consisting of racist vegetarians would really love it.
