Carnivorous Plants is clearly written, providing an appropriate level of detail on the subject for the targeted reading level. The section describing different varieties provides good information, but is a little poorly organized; it is difficult to tell if the categories are reflecting scientific taxonomy or the author's own ideas about classification. The experiments are a little simplistic. They do however operate in a true scientific context; if the experimenter is confused by the results, he or she is encouraged to do it again.
The illustrations are color photographs. The pictures which depict the plants provide a good illustration of each variety's features. I was disappointed that there were no photographs of the plants in their wild context. The author emphasizes the threat to their habitats, but those habitats are never shown. The pictures in the grow your own and experiments section seem dated. The book was published in 2004, but those photos feel about ten years older. ( )
