a fun romp with lots of interesting trivia about plants.

Nice light easy chick lit read.

This came recommended to me by a colleague, and she compared it to "Eat, Pray, Love". I can see why, although the main character is a lot less likable. A New Yorker woman working in marketing discovers the world of exotic flowers, and ends up traveling to Mexico to find the mysterious nine flowers. You learn a lot about flowers while reading the book, which is nice, and it actually made me want to give tending to flowers another try (not a small feat!). But the main character is horribly stupid and annoying.

it's all here adventure, romance, pithy philosophy and humor with a quirky cast of characters

What started out as an easy beach read turned odd and disturbing in the second half. You know it's bad when you hate the heroine/narrator.

I really enjoyed this odd book about a woman who meets strange men who deal in plants and teach her about spirituality, love, and life. One sells her her first plant the other owns a laundromat, in which the floor is covered in moss, the washers and dryers covered in grass, and the place filled with plants. Together, they manage to send her to Mexico to obtain the Nine Plants of Desire.

Weird and grossly entertaining.

I don't usually bother with reviews, but this book was weird. Not bad, but different. Maybe a litle too spiritual for me.

Not total shite, but still...

Made me look at my plants in a whole new light. Cute, somewhat predictable, but a nice, light read. It was the perfect book to take with me to Key West this weekend.

Tough NYC chick is launched into the world of horticulture and Castanada-like mysticism. She's a mighty selfish girl, but she definitely realizes that by the end of the book. I love plants and therefore enjoyed the plant commentary.
