Thank you to NetGalley and Patagonia for the ARC. My opinions are my own.

Roam has a great premise I would love to learn more about, and I did, but I didn't get the satisfaction I usually get from learning about a subject like this.

In Roam you get:
- Insight into how human infrastructure impacts animals
- How roaming habits have changed and intersect with humans
- What we are currently trying to do to combat said changing habits
- How climate change has impacted both human and animal roaming

I have a few annoyances and gripes with this book. Mainly just two.

The images in the book are mostly stock photos with the watermarks. I understand that getting professional photos isn't cheap or easy, but at least paying to get a watermark free photo could have been done. It just feels a little cheap this way.

I wish the book showed some of the infrastructure we have built and planned to allow animals to roam with humans. Tunnels, natural bridges, etc. Showcasing them a little more.

But overall, this was a fine book. I learnt a little more about an interesting subject, and that's an accomplishment in itself. I just believe the book needs a little more time in the oven. 3 stars
