Review

After this book, nothing will seem the same again ... beautifully written and illustrated ... dazzling ... reveals a world that's both more extraordinary and more delicate than could be imagined - Mail on Sunday

Riveting and surprising at every turn ... A sensory as well as an intellectual pleasure - New Statesman

Wondrous ... Humans should consider fungi among the greatest of earth's marvels - Time, Books of the Year

Mind-boggling ... It's tempting ... to see fungi as the biological model for a better world - Telegraph

Truly astounding ... An engrossing, captivating journey - Spectator

Gorgeous, intelligent, utterly absorbing ... it expands our world, and makes us look up from the page with renewed wonder - Irish Times

One of those rare books that can truly change the way you see the world around you ... revelatory ... astounding ... and brimming with infectious joy - HELEN MACDONALD, author of H is for Hawk

A true masterpiece, a thrilling and fascinating insight into the living world ... I hope and trust that it will become an instant classic - GEORGE MONBIOT

Blew my mind ... Essential reading. Go and get swept up in a new world - ANDREA WULF, author of The Invention of Nature

Astonishing ... it's impossible to finish this book without feeling awestruck - ANDREW MOTION, TLS Books of the Year

Delightful to read but also grand and dizzying in how thoroughly it recalibrates our understanding of the natural world - ED YONG, author of An Immense World

Sentence after sentence stopped me short. I ended it wonderstruck at the fungal world - the secrets of which modern science is only now beginning to fathom - and the earth-shaking, hierarchy-breaking implications of Sheldrake's argument. A remarkable work by a remarkable writer - ROBERT MACFARLANE, author of Underland

A revelation ... Changes the way we need to look at life, the planet and ourselves - ISABELLA TREE, author of Wilding

Wonderfully written ... surprising ... The best science writing invites people to view the world around them in a new way, and Entangled Life is a perfect example - BRIAN COX

This is a book that, by virtue of the power of its writing, shifts your sense of the human ... It will inspire a generation - Michael Pollan (Bay Area Book Festival, 2020)

I have been working on and reading and writing about fungi for a decade. And yet, nearly every page of this book contained either an observation so interesting or a turn of phrase so lovely that I was moved to slow down, stop, and reread ... This book rocked me into remembering that nature, especially fungal nature, is big and encompassing and creative and destructive. It reminded me that fungi are, like the universe, sublime - Rob Dunne, Science

A magical journey deep into the root of nature by an expert storyteller ... a must-read for citizen scientists hoping to make a positive difference on this sacred planet we share - PAUL STAMETS, author of Mycelium Running
