The Pine Barrens

            
             John Mcphee's "The Pine Barrens" is a unique descriptive novel, the novel deals with nature and all it's beauty. The story is easy to follow and easy to understand because it is being told through the eyes of a non-partial naturist. .
             The novel was intriguing because it was so relatable to Philadelphia, the fact that the actually Pine Barrens are only about fifty miles away meant that whatever Mcphee experienced throughout the book was not far fetched form what I"d experience. The proximity on which Mcphee relates the Barrens to New York City meant that I've been past that valued land several times. .
             The data that Mcphee tries to relate to us through out the book was information that was all new to me; I've never been too concerned with the North Western land history up until the book. The data that Mcphee tells us could never been learned anywhere else. .
             The novel is filled with hundreds of different facts that are all interesting to know. The fact that The Pine Barrens has the same spatial domain as Yosemite means that I need to go check them out.
