pretty sure I read the whole thing in high school.

I ended up rating this book 3 stars though I was close to 1 or 2 stars, at least the beginning. I was struggling firstly with the prose of very very long sentences. I keep having to re-read a sentence because I keep missing his point after all the ramblings. Then I also felt that he was rather condescending with some of his points and sometimes rather preachy. The only parts I really like were his descriptions of nature and his appreciation of it which I guess is why this book is such a classic
