“Diane Ackerman is absolutely a new favorite author of mine. I am currently reading two of her other books. The Rarest of the Rare was the first book of Ackerman's that I read after she was recommended to me by a friend. She doesn't simply write about her life experiences, she truly describes and uses language that makes you feel like you were there or like you want to be there. I found myself re-reading passages several times as well as reading them to other people. Fantastic book!”
