hello everyone,

i thought you might like to read my thoughts about the book, The Jewel
Hunter by Chris Gooddie:

In short, this book is the engaging and amusing true story of how one
man's mid-life crisis gave life to his obsession to see all living
species of a small jewel-like songbird: the pittas. Birders, fans of
travel literature and adventurers of all sorts will enjoy this book.

cheers,
