Marjorie Elwood's Reviews > Bicycling with Butterflies: My 10,201-Mile Journey Following the Monarch Migration

The author is a good writer – what could have sounded preachy, rarely did – but it did get a bit exhausting to read all of her anger.

She’s the first person to bicycle the entire route of the monarch butterfly migration (with 70 pounds of gear in her panniers!) and she gives us a lot of information about monarchs. Despite that, the book isn’t dry and academic. Instead, she points out the environmental changes that are killing monarchs, such as more moisture and cold, and that it takes 3-5 generations of Monarchs to complete the round-trip migration.
