pickAnother favorite of the year! Reread for Morbidly Curious Book Club and I loved it even more the second time through. Fascinating essays about everything from eating bugs, fatbergs, and your pets potentially eating you after death all the way to the nutshell studies, cannibalism and head transplants. Highly recommend if you like to read about the darker and weird side of science. #MCBC
pickRead this in two days. I couldn‘t put it down! It‘s a great example of narrative nonfiction which is why I couldn‘t stop turning pages. A look at the lives and world of the men that were responsible for the “lie detector” test and the cases that made this a household name despite its flaws. Really well done. #MCBC pick for February.
panThis author just isn‘t for me. This is the third book I‘ve read from them and the third pan. I just don‘t get on with the writing style. It‘s frustratingly repetitive and while the topic was interesting I feel like it suffered because of the writing. Needed a few more edits to tighten it up in places and to stop explaining the same things over and over again. Could‘ve been half the size without the repetition. #MCBC pick for January.
