I like the basic concept that trees [and other plants] can form networks and pass along, via their intertwined root systems, chemical signals in response to changes in their environment etc. But I found the book anthropomorphised to a degree that bordered on ridiculous. Talking of trees feeling "sad" when one of their "friends" died or was cut down was just a bit too cutesy for my liking.
