About this title: An account of the research on the fringes of botany - experiments showing how plants respond to music and telepathy; that they have their own force-fields and feelings, and can be encouraged to grow or wither depending on the human attitude with which they are approached.

"I got 50 pages into this book before I stood up, walked across the room, and threw it in the trash even though I was bored at an airport! DO NOT READ IT. It's full of weird pseudscience and makes ridiculous claims like plants can read your mind. The part where I stopped reading was where the authors claimed that human sex and plant sex are mystically interconnected because pollen smells like semen."
"Reading this book makes me feel stoned. In a good way. A lot of sentient root-tubules seeking sunlight, and responding via ESP. Hard to tell if there's any science buried in all the pseudo-science, but it seems likely. In any case the more far-fetched stuff is I can't read this on my way to work, it'll ruin my ability to focus. But it's a great weekend read... and may convince me to change my life back to the plant-loving hippie lifestyle I should be living.
"This is definitely an interesting read. I suppose, being the skeptic I am, I would need to duplicate a few of experiments, but for the most part I found this information highly plausible. In fact, much of it is currently accepted "common knowledge.""
