Informative, fun and interesting! Got a bit stuck partway through this, but once I picked it back up again I really enjoyed it :) definitely recommend for a gentler informative book on clouds, as the blend of information and related stories really helps the readability.

non-fiction science books tend to bore me but this was surprisingly entertaining and even moving

I think this book was just not for me. I didn't really like the writing style, and for a lot of it I did not enjoy the way it was explained. I liked the personal anecdotes, though. I think the way of explaining was simple but maybe I just didn't get it sometimes (not a science gal). If you are looking for a science book which is also easy to understand and not overly full of technical terms with no explanations, this will probably work for you.

Kinda cute, it's delightful to see people being so obsessed about something and the author's freaking hilarious! The technical parts got boring at times. Tbh i won't recommend it except if you have a physical copy and are into cloudspotting. But despite the shortcomings, this book is dear to me and it definitely changes how i see the sky now; quite an unexpected and pleasant change, significantly lifted up my days lately. 3.5.

A lot of good information, but too many dumb jokes. A book about rainbows should be next

Cloudspotter's Guide is nice, easy read that mixes useful details for identifying clouds with anecdotes. I found the book to be useful background for participating in the NASA Globe citizen science Clouds monitoring program.
