Listen, I know I signed up to read and review this one and I did, but… it was boring as shit. I know, I know, it’s a book about birds and sex, how entertaining could it be? Let me tell you: it could be so much more entertaining than it was. Only read this book if you REALLY like birds. Specifically, black grouses and their leks. Really, truly, horrendously boring. You heard it here first ‍♀️
