'Growing a farmer': Impressions

‘Growing a farmer’ : Impressions

So far, I am enjoying reading Kurt Timmermeister’s book a lot, mainly thanks to two elements: the level of detail, and the great understandability and clearness of the author.

The level of details makes everything more interesting, letting understand why things work in a certain way rather than another and why the main character made certain decisions. The awesome level of understandability instead, given by a plain, clear, and simple writing style, makes the book incredibly more enjoyable to read, expecially for someone who is not a native English speaker like I am. Often, while reading a book written in English, I find myself reading a passage two or three times, to understand everything, or I even search the translations of some weird and non-used words; with ‘Growing a farmer’ this never occurred.

On the other hand, there has been one thing that I didn’t like throughout the reading of the book: the context. Let me explain. I love this book so far, I think it is one of the best I ever read, capable of giving us a lot life-lessons in a matter where you would never tink of getting them from. This is the problem for me: I think everybody should read the book but I am aware that some people (maybe the most of them) won’t do so because they think this to be only a simple book about farming, which is absolutely wrong, in my opinion. So, this more a suggestion, rather than a problem, but it this the only remark I can make to the Timmermeister till this point.
