'Finn
writes with compassion and intrigue. He understands deeply the
issues underpinning his journey and does not shy from confronting them,
pointing an uncompromising finger at the culprits as and when necessary.'

My
journey with a remarkable tree is written with charisma and passion.
Finn's accessible style and dark humour lead you through the bite-sized
chapters ... This book will empower you to make a difference.

"...full
of the flavour of smoke in the air, bumps in the road, pains in the
stomach, emotions of anger and elation, awe, sadness and compassion.
The picture is so vivid, the account so like hearing the story first
hand on the 'phone that the reader is virtually there."

"The
serious nature of the subject matter is always undercut with Finn's
mordant humour... Inspiring!"

Insight
'Ken
Finn’s self-awareness, irony and gentle sweetness carry him through
encounters with a full cast of idiosyncratic characters who challenge
and support his journey toward finding and following the Spirit Trees...
After reading My Journey with a Remarkable Tree, I cannot look at any
object in quite the same way.'

Part
manifesto, part travelogue, this moving and disturbing story is written
with humor, clarity and compassion. Ken Finn has done a lovely job of
illuminating a bleak and seemingly hopeless issue – and managed
to put the hope back into it, that we can truly do something to make
this a better world.

"This
book exposes what the real cost of your garden table set can be. The
destruction of forests that have taken centuries to evolve, the disappearance
of animals that depend on them and the abuse of human rights as people
are kicked off their traditional lands by robber baron loggers."

'There
is just so much I want to say about it but simply don't know how to
put it into words! It was really emotive, it made me angry, it upset
me, it even stopped me sleeping but it also made me laugh and chuckle
to myself. Ken has a lovely style of writing & I really felt like
I was there experiencing it all with him.'
