5 out of 5 stars where passion meets beauty   October 8, 1998
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I approached this book thinking, "orchids....what could I possibly care about orchids?" But, was I ever in for a surprise, because Orlean had me hooked on her subject and her characters by page 2. This book does what all great books do: it lures you into its world, holds you there and doesn't let you go until long after you've read the final page. This is a stunningly original work by a writer of extraordinary talent and enthusiasm for her subject. Like the flowers she writes about, "The Orchid Thief" is a rare and brilliantly exotic thing that will be loved and admired by all who encounter it.
