PreRead-Literary Illuminator

From some research on the book, Saving Cascadia, I have found some mixed results. Many of the reviews and blurbs I've read have claimed that this is a "fast-paced page turner" but others have said things like "Saving Cascadia is a silly waste of reading time.". This book was rated three and a half stars on Amazon. Most of the readers have said that this was a great read and that they highly recommend this book.
Saving Cascadia has won no awards according to what I have read but some of the other books John J. Nance has written have won awards.
"Customers who bought this item also bought..?" After reading through a few titles I realized that most of these titles were by John J. Nance as well. Some the books written by different authors quite resembled the idea of Saving Cascadia.
After reading quite a bit I think that this is a book that people think very highly of. Almost all the reviews are postive with a few negative comments here and there...
