Lab Girl. Compelling story of a journey from a chill dark Minnesota town where a young girl would accompany her science teacher father to his lab, to becoming a scientist herself. Written chronologically addressing the science and the life journey Hope Jahren makes a compelling case for plants, colleagues, light and science.

Heartfelt, passionate love affair!. This joyful, heartfelt, passionate love affair- a story filled with life, curiosity, compassion and incredible scientific inquiry- will lift your soul. Hope Jahren, clearly is an amazing woman and accomplished scientist, but mostly she's a wonderous gift to us all. Thankfully, she's an author too. You'll laugh; you'll cry. Brilliant!

Great Book. It was nice to read about being a scientist from a woman’s perspective. My favorite part was Bill and his monkey doppelgänger.

Insightful. Aside from the science lessons about plants which were quite informative there is another aspect that is an awakening. The mental health profession may have gotten OCD all wrong. Instead of labeling it as a “disorder” perhaps it’s a condition that should be fostered and celebrated rather than medicated to muteness. Someday it would be lovely to read Bill’s version of this story.

Couldn't put it down!. Hope Jahren's fascinating career in paleobotany is crystallized in this addictive memoir. Part adventure, part cautionary tale for women in a male-dominated field, her story is deftly woven with snippets of literary classics. I'll never look at a tree in the same way again. In fact, I'm going to plant one in her honor in our back yard!

Lab Girl. Started out well.....then became pedantic and rather boring. I thought the author just wasn’t personal.

Fascinating. An unusual but fascinating memoir by an enthusiastic scientist who is keenly aware of being a woman in science and the headwinds that come with it. I loved reading about her one-of-a-kind relationship with Bill, her passionate bonding with plants and her labs, and the vagaries of succeeding in academia. Would loved to know more about Bill's place in her family circle and wish she would have told us. But all in all, a page-turner by a gifted writer. Highly recommended.

Lovely poetic writing. This is a beautiful book with gorgeous descriptions of trees that I read extra slowly to savor.
