The Signature of All Things Book Review

by David Brown

Thank you Elizabeth Gilbert

You took me on a journey with your novel and let me discover your amazing story, so well written that it hits a ten on my unofficial scale of novel writing.

I try to pick books that I think might be a good read, after looking at reviews, best seller lists, synopsis, and maybe a glance at the "take a peek" Amazon feature.

Take botany, international commerce, depth of family characters, and a young woman who has the soul of a pioneer, the mind of a scholar, and a heart devoted to the love of plants.

Alma Whittaker is the epitome of a superior intellect with a deep passion for her life's work, including the unique plant life of moss. With a strong, and stubborn Dutch mother and a self-made multi-millionaire tycoon father, she experiences unusual twists and turns in her own journey through life, and keeps you engaged as if you are sharing it with her.

What I enjoyed besides the story writing, characters, plot, and settings in this novel were the mystical undertones of breakthrough scientific inquiry, where the supernatural or divine creation continues to tease those researchers who make new discoveries that sometimes defy logic and rationality.

May all novels that I read from now on be on this same level of excellence.
