Thom reviewed Oil and Honey by Bill McKibben
Review of 'Oil and Honey' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This book alternates between the author's experiences in activism and his neighbor's beekeeping, with interesting parallels between the two. I found the apiculture fascinating and the activism interesting, though also somewhat depressing. Both have had to adapt to changes in climate, and both somewhat successfully - though an epilog would have to be further in the future for the final verdict. The connections were occasionally forced and the writing was not as smooth as his previous book, Eaarth. Would still recommend this to my friends.
