The subject matter here was interesting enough, but nothing that would usually grab my attention. However, the way this book is written is absolutely fantastic.
Mary Roach’s voice is so distinct and engaging that it completely carries the narrative. She has this way of taking technical or scientific concepts and injecting them with a level of wit and curiosity that makes you want to keep reading regardless of the topic. And those footnotes! This was my first experience with her work, and it definitely won't be my last. I can’t wait to dive into the rest of her catalog.
