Review: McPhee at his most readable - I've read almost all of John McPhee's books and this is one of my two favorites. An arguably timeless dive into a geographical area I knew nothing about - it's inhabitants, geology, topography and fascinating history. A lovely two afternoons of enjoyable reading!
Review: John McPhee is a pleasure for the mine. Reading this book was like poetry in prose. - Perhaps one of the greatest writers in English alive today John McPhee's stories about the Pine Barrens is an beautiful display of the writing ability and storytelling on this great writer. I only read about ten of his books but this one is special. I had never heard of the New Jersey Pine Barrens now I know more than I could expect from this book writers decades ago. I feel at peace reading this story abut life in the Pine Barrens. I learned about this geographic location and its people over two hundred years. I learned how to tell a story with grace and respect. Thank you John McPhee

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Page Turning Book About the Pine Barrens
*by D***F on September 26, 2018*

Normally, a book about a large body of land would bore me. However, John McPhee weaves in fascinating stories about the "Pineys", who live there, and very interesting pieces of history. It's like you're there with him. My only peeve is that I wish that he'd covered more about the Quakers in the Pine Barrens area, like in Burlington County, NJ. And, wish that when he wrote about John Wharton, a large philanthropic landowner, included that Wharton was a Quaker. The little McPhee mentioned about Quakers was brief, and not that positive. So, I don't understand why Quakers weren't covered a bit more, and more positively. Sadly, many people I meet, confuse Quakers with the Amish. Lots of misconceptions. Quakers/Friends were in many cases, very liberal/open-minded, outspoken and forward thinking people. And, were industrious, successful, business people. Including around the Pine Barrens areas of NJ. And beyond. Quakers also founded many exceptional colleges (Penn, Cornell, Swarthmore, Bryn Mawr, Johns Hopkins, Haverford, etc.), and the "Friends" schools, including Sidwell Friends in DC.
