The Booklog

Unseen Beings

★★★☆☆ 3/5

My review

The first half of the book where he laments the impact of the anthropocene and how we are neglectful of the non-human life on the planet: all good. The second half becomes a sales pitch for Buddhism (which is fine, but a weird left turn) and then a chapter trying to make JRR Tolkien the modern-day patron saint of the unseen. Meh.
