This update of Deni Browns existing work on Aroids is a book that it's easy to read and enjoy - full of enthusiasm and an obvious love of the subject - but not so easy to use, in any practical sense of the word.

There are lots of plants listed, (although by no means a compehensive list of aroids) but relatively little information about their behaviour or needs in cultivation. The photogpahs are very fine, but not numerous to create a coffee-table type book that one could browse through for the beauty of the plants alone.

To be fair "Aroids" is not designed as a growers guide, nor as a botanical monograph, but it's not really clear who else it could be aimed at either.

Personally I've not returned to the book since I read through it the first time.
