Shana R. (LynniePennie) reviewed Couldn't finish it... on 10/15/2008 + 169 more book reviews

While I usually love books about birds this one left me wanting. While the parts about the bird were charming, the author goes into musings about various topics every other paragraph. Personally, I found it very hard to follow. After I read a paragraph where the author was insulting one of his fellow employees I was done reading. The author went into quite a few rants about different people, then would write about the sweet sparrow, then back into his hateful rants. Frankly, when I buy a book about the "Providence of a Sparrow", I don't want to hear about the author's dislike of Christians, slow-witted people or his belly-dancing wife.

It would be enjoyable if the author would've left out his musings. After muddling through this book, I kept hoping that more about the sparrow would be said. I made it halfway through and couldn't take it anymore.
