I do not consider this to be a good book, but it was a perfect frothy light read for me as I recovered from stomach flu (although I did have to skim the otherwise interesting food parts!!). The material and couture descriptions were basically lost on me, but there was some interesting culture thrown in, and props for the Humboldt callout pictured! Occasionally the tone was surprisingly offensive (esp. the Bernard character).

Cinfhen I agree as a #palettecleanser this book is PERFECT #braincandy 🍭🍡🍬🍭 6y
tif @UrsulaMonarch I really enjoyed the Invention of Nature! Knew nothing about Humboldt before I read it but feel like more people should know about him 6y

UrsulaMonarch @tif cool!!! & I agree, especially if this line from his Wikipedia is at all true! "More places and species are named after Humboldt than after any other human being." 6y
tif @UrsulaMonarch I'm pretty sure it is. I think I remember checking that fact when I first read the book. 6y
UrsulaMonarch @tif it seems like such a hard thing to calculate! 😁but then most humboldt things I know (mainly park in Chicago & county in CA) ARE after him! 👍 6y

Ok, some ppl think this isn't "interesting" but I think if you like real life drama you will like this if even for a #recoveryread
Full of likable but mostly unlikeable (or at least they're all flawed,like real ppl) characters that will make you question how you view the world and how our viewpoints can really make or break our lives.
