Summary: A lesson for life.
Review: Julia Butterfly is an inspiration, period. Her testimony in this book is a living vehicle for her message--of letting love and respect of life direct ones actions. I give credit to Julia for not only accomplishing what is on the pages of this book, but for having the courage to follow through on the "ground" mission. If everone read this book (not only the younger generation, but established people with the power to make hard decisions) then as cliched as it sounds, the world would be a better place. There is a part of Butterfly that lives in us all--you don't have to live in a tree to find your wings. Read this book, and buy it for all your friends.

Summary: stunning!
Review: I am 15 years old, and i spent my allowance for the past month buying this book in hardback. i could not put it down. i read the book strait through school. This book is an incredible source of knowledge both political and spititual. I cried and laughed through the whole thing. I actually walked between my classes without putting the book down and I had some close calls with walls standing in my way. I can not describe this book. Julia is amazing, and the book is beyond belief. undoubtedly the best book I have read in my life. I finished it in one day and am reading it again in case i missed anything.

Summary: I am the editor of this book
Review: It is critical to point out that Legacy of Luna is printed on paper made from 30% post-consumer recycled fibers and 70% Forestry Stewardship Council-certified paper using soy based ink. There is no more responsible paper available. It's quite insane to suggest that Julia would devote her life to saving trees only to have them sacrificed for her book. Instead, this book is a model of the sustainability available to all of us. Furthermore, it is instructive to know that she is not receiving penny from the profits of this book -- they are all going to the Circle of Life Foundation whose work is to promote sustainabiliy, restoration and preservation of life.

Summary: Legacy of a Butterfly
Review: Julias book hits a sharp note. We can do something to make an impact if we try hard enough! Julia " Butterfly " hill, is now 26 and is an inspiration to so many!The book deleves you into the world as Julia sees it. Written with true feelings it is a must for all of you who need a spiritual lift, or have a deep passion for our environment! Starting out with her terrible accident she had, which ultimately sent her in an upward spiral to make her life truly meaningful. She headed twords her legacy in dec, of 97 and recounted everything from pacific lumbers terrible attempts to get rid of her by trying to both starve her out of the tree, and sending huge helicopters near her that made the tiny 6x8 platform she lived in a piece of flimsy paper blowing up and down in the wind as she held on to dear life. She writes several poems about life, luna ( tree ) and pacific lumber. Gifted with a truly passionate touch, Julia reminds us to listen to the wisdom of the earth, live by it and learn from it. There are very few books that give such an impact to the reader to bring them into the world of julia and to live the life of a person who is so truly genuine and inspirational. All proceeds go to her circle of life foundation, in hopes to keep our environment a healthy and stable one. I recommend this to all readers young and old, and if you read this book and dont feel overwhelmed with emotione you have not payed close attention to her message, of love and respect to all circles of life. Happy readings. ( Warning you may feel the sudden urge to go out to a tree farm and buy a tree to plant!)

Summary: inspiration
Review: This book was above all else very inspiring. The conviction and passion of Julia Hill definately come across full force. She's a very wise person and her observations about life are thoroughly thought-provoking. I must say I didn't know much if at anything at all about the whole Luna tree-sit before reading this. So I cannot comment about how well it documents the episode. I did assume from the relatively short length of the book and the fact that she does generally just share her own personal, inward stories from her time in Luna that it wasn't a great chronicle of the entire activity around the tree-sit. However as an inspirational book to fire up the activist in you (or just to help you do what you know is right) it's perfect!

Summary: The "Silent Spring" of our time
Review: Julia Butterfly Hill is the Rachel Carson of our time. I loved this book ... There are very few people who "walk the walk." Julia truly shows us how to make a difference with this book.

Summary: Keeps your attention
Review: This book definitely keeps your attention for the simple fact that it is so strange. I really admire this woman for living in a tree for two years for a good cause. It seems like a great adventure to write about. The book was well written, and I even am a member of the Sierra Club, but this girl is different.

Summary: Finding Balance
Review: This is an amazing story. I think if you are of one extreme political view or the other in regards to the redwoods, or environmentalism, you will be softened somewhat after reading Julia's odyssey. It is largely written from a place of neutrality (the heart), and does not "preach", nor is it angry in tone. I am a Northern Californian myself, and after experiencing personally the enormous anger/hate that goes on between BOTH sides of the spectrum, i.e. the logging industry, and the environmentalists, her book was very refreshing. It was as if, by climbing the tree, and remaining in it for so long, Julia stood on the fulcrum of both extremes. I remember one part of the book where, after a confrontation with one of the loggers, she lowered down a photograph of herself dressed in a formal gown. Seeing her as someone he could identify with, and not just as a tree-hugging-hippy out-to-ruin-his-life-by-taking his livelihood away, shifted him. It may be that I believe Julia is a saint, simply because I'm a tree fanatic. But I feel she has really helped shift a lot of the stagnatic energy on both sides of the tree agenda. She has a wonderful heart, and I believe most of you will be able to identify with her, just as that logger did. The only reason I did not give this book 4 stars, is that there are parts of the writing which seem repeated or slow. But definately, read this book... it is a very unique story!
