I wanted very much to like this book. I love shorebirds, horseshoe crabs, and all things coastal. There are the makings of an epic tale: pole to pole migration, tiny bird vs the world, etc. There are many many interesting side stories and notes that influence the story. Unfortunately weaving bits and pieces of all these side stories became a distraction that just ended up confusing me - too many characters and places introduced for a paragraph or two, too many jumps backward and forward in time, too many peripherally related issues discussed too briefly. The narrative ended feeling very breathless and exhausting, and I never felt like I was really getting to know the central characters - author, researchers, red knot. Nonetheless, I'd recommend it to others interested in natural history because there's some very interesting content here and others may enjoy the style.
