It’s a bird watcher’s journal. Basically he describes landscape weather and the Peregrine’s hunt each day. Thats it for the plot. I thought it was worth reading for the descriptive prose and the occasional insights into this guy’s obsession with Peregrines and his misanthropic disdain.

The Goshawk is good, tho the end is a bit anticlimactic. Tipped to from a passing remark in a Mamet essay.
Query: Anybody read H for Hawk? & if so, what say ye?
Colton Rodriguez
Very nice sounds. Thanks, user! Gotta get to this book.
Charles Collins
Well, he has a few masterpieces to his name but I would say, as a general rule, he has bad taste

I enjoyed the bits about training the Hawk in H is for Hawk but she was a bit of a virtue signaller when it comes to politics which was annoying. And she didnt like JA Baker. Thought he was too bloodthirsty. She had no trouble breaking rabbits’ necks though. I should stop reading non male authors. They just make me more misogynist.

It is just we'll written observations of falcons. If you want to gain a naturalists perspective on nature it's a good read.
Luis Rogers
Herzog is a hack. Every time I hear one of his DEEP moralizing monologues I want to off myself.
Nathan Flores
Fantastic book, I keep it in the bathroom and read pages at random while shitting. I also reread the ending when I'm stressed.
The prose is really something special.
Mason Price
how can i read this?. i think is imposible in my country. once i read the beginning and it really astonish me.
Julian Gray
For someone who doesn't give a shit about birds, it's an object lesson in how truly great writing can transform the mundane into the sublime.
Lincoln Bell
I want to read it for the same reason. Herzog has shilled it extremely hard. I expect it to be the second coming of Christ at this point
Luke Barnes
A great metaphoric language; the author is a poet
Ryan Butler
I don't think so, it's from A Baker.

Read H is for Hawk second. She literally spends the entirety of the book hating on the dude and going off on how romanticised and amateurish his efforts were whilst literally buying a hawk as a coping mechanism. She literally almost loses the hawk in a storm because she wants to prove a point. She's not a great writer but I enjoyed reading it as I have an interest in falconry.
The Hawk is a far better read with good prose.
