I found myself constant thinking of the little ways Mary Roach would approach interactions with creatures in the house, garden, or daily commute. I wonder how she honed in on the animals that she did. I read this very slowly, but Roach is brilliant at weaving humor and info into an intricate web thst one can enjoy at a fast pace.

I listened to the audio book. What I think was supposed to be humor came off mean and condescending and kinda spoiled the content.

I had no idea that lab mice are very demure and cutesy as someone who has done CRISPR research!

It seems like FUZZ is a huge crossover for Mary Roach fans with a bit of everything from STIFF to GRUNT, so I wasn't disappointed by her adventures even if I was only expecting silly court drama

Loved this! The author is so funny, and each chapter was about a different animal / ecosystem and how humans navigate situations with animal “conflict.”

As a law nerd, I do wish there was more insight into the legal side of the equation, but I loved hearing about all the ways people study these things
