Great read. You don't have to be plant nerd to love this. Ready for the movie.

A "Must Read" from BookNerdection's Kevin Tanza!

It's a delight to read a captivating story that also provides a top-notch learning experience. Not only is this book a fun read, but it gave me a deeper understanding of the culture and environment in southeastern Peru. Highly recommended.

Botanicos captured my attention immediately and kept me interested all the way through. The story gives life to the journey of a botanist in the jungles of Peru and his not so farfetched path through the stages of becoming a powerful shaman. The naming and uses of some actual plants which can be found there was illuminating. The parallel lives of his wife and family in his former world continue as he becomes his deeper self and rights some environmental wrongs along the way.

"Botanicos" unfolds a riveting tale in the heart of the Amazon, where a botanist's survival evolves into an enchanting story of mystique and botanical marvels. The narrative skillfully explores the protagonist's journey, offering readers a glimpse into the lush rainforest through meticulous botanical descriptions. With its immersive blend of adventure and natural beauty, "Botanicos" is a delightful read for those who appreciate a captivating exploration of the Amazon's wonders.

"Botánicos" gets a "Must Read" in this review by Jennifer Hill.
