Reviews for My Double Life: Memoirs of a Naturalist

The average rating for My Double Life: Memoirs of a Naturalist based on 2 reviews is 3.5 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-25 00:00:00 Angela KAY Vignette-style. Easy to read. First third is naughty child stories. Frances (Flint) Hamerstrom came from a very wealthy North-eastern family. And she was a little wild. The last two thirds are stories of crazy naturalist happenings. The kind of stories you tell at dinner parties. These center on prairie chickens and life in abandoned houses in central Wisconsin. Worthwhile if you have an interest in memoir or ecology. Not a cohesive whole (thus the 3 stars) but light and fun.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-06-10 00:00:00 Gary Sugerman Delightful. The first half is Fran Hamerstrom's wry account of her childhood. She's the rare kind of adult who hasn't forgotten what it's like to be a kid. The second half is her equally wry account of her life as a wildlife biologist studying the surprisingly fascinating prairie chicken in the wilds of central Wisconsin with her husband.
