I read this book at the same time as The Poison Diaries because I thought it might help give me some more background on the plants mentioned in the novel. I'm glad I did, and thought it was fitting that the Alnwick Poison Gardens (those featured in/inspiring The Poison Diaries) were mentioned at the end of this book as "surely the best place in the world to see wicked plants". The book was fascinating, a quick, easy read, and the author did a great job of telling you what was interesting about a plant without going on too long for those of us who aren't really botanists. My only complaint was that there were too few illustrations. I would have liked to see each plant illustrated rather than maybe 1 in 10.
Really interesting. About first impressions and quick judgements, situations in which they are and are not accurate. Malcolm Gladwell writes about aspects of social psychology that can be understood by the non-psychologist.
