This book is a quick read, as RPGs go, and the mechanics are pretty simple and designed mostly to get out of your way while you play. It is a post-apocalyptic, character-driven game filled with angst and emotion, and if you like that sort of thing, by all means check it out.
The premise is both intriguing and deceptively simple: a primeval forest has overtaken the world overnight, destroying civilization in one fell swoop. Why and how? That's up to the narrator to decide--or to leave as a mystery.
It's an evocative, open-ended setting with unlimited possibilities and designed with an eye to letting the players and narrator create a very personal, collaborative story.
Personally, it's just the thing I was looking for. I can't wait to play it.
