User Review - Karen Stubenvoll - GoodreadsReally enjoyable! I would have rated it "5" but I didn't enjoy the grim parts about selling plasma to have enough money to continue his quest; also, the description of his being hungry -- somebody should have given that teenager some food! Read full review

Review: Kingbird Highway: The Biggest Year in the Life of an Extreme Birder
