Michael’s Reviews > A Passion for Nature: The Life of John Muir > Status Update

Very well written so far. Rebecca Solnit level. This guy was an academic, but he cultivated a good writing style. He describes Muir by telling the history of those people and things most connected to him. For example, he talks a lot about Muir's father, Daniel, and shows how he became such a dominant influence in Muir's life. It also helps the reader understand what kind of world Muir lived in. Well done.
