Coming Full Circle by Budd Titlow explore environmental issues in America, focusing on the natural and environmental sectors of the country. The author divided the book into different headlines and used highly standard diction. The book investigates the influence of industrialization and human activities on the environment, emphasising the significance of nature, tradition, experience, family, and care. The writer employed expressive words that present a vivid depiction of events, locations, vegetation, and wildlife. This enabled me to visualise and comprehend more deeply.

The story commences with Strong Bow, a young man with a deep affinity for the natural world inherited from his father, True Arrow. He dedicated himself to preserving the environment and its inhabitants from any damage it may endured, this is inspired by his father's renowned legacy. This was during a primitive era when humankind depended solely on nature's generosity. Subsequently, there was Thaddeus Adams, another man who derived comfort from the captivating beauty of the natural environment and came across creatures along the way. His love of nature inspired him to explore the wilderness, but eventually he found his home with Minerva Graham. Now married to Minerva, will he be able to sustain this newfound happiness for the rest of his life?

What I like about this book is that it explores the issue of environmental degradation and offers solutions to address it. The book also focuses on themes like nature and politics. Through an engaging third-person narrative, readers learn about various animal species and their uses, natural habitats such as the Great Basin Plateau and Salt Lake, and the consequences of humans hunting animals and plants. The author's storytelling skill adds a thrilling yet informative element to this captivating story.

There are some things I don't like about this book. The book started off as an adventure but shifted its focus to environmental well-being, ultimately making it dull. The descriptions were captivating yet hard to grasp, necessitating re-reading some of the sentences. Furthermore, the book's structure and length made it challenging to read, and its slow pace and predictable plot complicated following along with the story.

I found some errors in this book, so it could use another round of editing. Because of these issues, I would give this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars. Additionally, there were some terms in the text that I did not understand, and there was no glossary to aid in interpretation. Additionally, I anticipated hearing some character-related news but there was none.

I would highly recommend it to those who are interested in politics, passionate about nature, seek adventure, and have an understanding of environmental science due to the facts I uncovered while reading.
