[Wardah Puteh · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yes, perhaps I'm reading this book to fulfill the FYP [Final Year Project] requirement which is for my thesis writing. But my passion towards this book is huge as I'm able to read it consistently at least 1 hour. This book is not a fiction, no story about dracula or a handsome vampire like Edward in Twilight. Yet, plant science is a new area for me. I hope I can be a rich woman through 'berbudi kepada tanah.' =)
