Firstly, I like the casuality of the writing. It's simple and easy enough for anybody to understand, and that's the point, isn't it? She states that this book is for everybody, and it's written to allow that possibility. It's a lot of new scientific information to soak in, so as to my judgements on the quality of writing, I believe it's got a great conversational style added to an abundance of facts related to global warming.
I like that it's mentioned very early on (page 2) that although she's been very specific places of interest, there are hundreds to thousands of places in the world that are seeing global warming's effects. It puts the threat in true perspective--some places are showing more severe effects, regardless, the entire planet is under effect.
I think it's great that by the end of the first chapter, she's suggested a range of ideas and theories that pertain to directly to us and global warming. This is a book that doesn't just tell you what global warming is, it shows each of us the severity and the simplicity in that we all must make a difference. Seems to me that the author fears the worst for our planet, and she tells a story of how it is and of how it could be.
That's basically what I've taken from the first pages, I like it so far.
