Book description
Hey, you'll never guess what I just finished listening to on my way back from the grocery store. It's called The Trees by Ali Shaw, and it's an audiobook that turns "you're in a suburban nightmare" into a full-on, leaf-shuffling, tree-hissing roller coaster-minus the safety harness.
Picture this: you're walking down a street that used to be a perfectly good suburb, and then... boom! Elastic aftershocks crackle like a bad Wi-Fi signal, and a shower of chinking, rubbled cement falls over you. The trees, those indifferent giants that we normally pretend to befriend when we talk to our lawnmowers, start sprouting up out of nowhere, as if they're auditioning for a role in "The Return of the Forest." The buildings just collapse, and you're left with bodies still wrapped in tattered bed linens, dangling like the worst Christmas ornaments you've ever seen. It's spooky, it's absurd, it's oddly beautiful.
The protagonist, Adrien Thomas, is the sort of guy who's never been a hero. He'd rather stay home and binge-watch shows than actually pick up a bat. But when he realizes that help is about as likely as a polite deer giving directions, he decides to take matters into his own hands-like a man on a quest for a lost sock. He's separated from his wife, Michelle, who's apparently off gallivanting across the sea in Ireland. No cell service, no GPS, just a world that's turned into a forest. Classic hero stuff, right?
Enter green-fingered Hannah and her teenage son Seb. They're basically the human version of a "Where's Waldo?" guide, but with better aim and a lot more moss on their hands. Together they embark on a journey that would make any adventure movie director raise an eyebrow. They're looking for Hannah's forester brother, hoping it might be the key to reconnecting Adrien with Michelle, and secretly trying to discover just how deep this woodland goes. Spoiler: it's a place of terrible beauty and violence, plus a bit of self-discovery. Because when you're surrounded by trees, you start wondering if the real forest was inside your own head all along.
What makes this audiobook a hoot is how it plays with our expectations. The narration is clear, but at the right moments it slows down to let those creepy tree sounds linger. The sound effects are just enough to make you feel the earth shaking, but not so much that you get the urge to turn off the volume. And the humor is sprinkled throughout-think of trees that are more judgmental than your neighbor's cat.
In the end, The Trees is a delightful mix of absurdity, suspense, and a touch of environmentalist flair. It's like a comedic survival guide written for people who think the apocalypse will involve a sudden influx of sentient oak trees. So, if you're looking for an audiobook that will keep you laughing, on edge, and occasionally asking yourself, "Did that tree just whisper my name?"-give this one a spin. You'll walk away feeling like you've survived a forest, but with your sanity still intact (and a slightly more adventurous spirit).
