CW: This book is not for the squeamish. Animal testing with in-depth descriptions, animal abuse, abuse of the mentally ill, etc. It's all historical, but that doesn't mean it's any less disturbing.
I like some good science, but this was a bit more than I was expecting when I started. Overall, I thought the writing was really excellent, very clear and good at explaining terms when necessary. It gave me the creepy crawlies a lot, but it kind of went hard at some of my personal anxieties/triggers in the final chapter. But I probably deserved it for not knowing what I was getting into!
Really informative, some good explanations of stories I knew before as well as lots of new ones. I don't plan on keeping this, but one of my best friends is pre-med and I plan on gifting this to her - I hope she'll learn something new from this as well!

This was a real mixed bag. Some chapters were absolutely fascinating, while others I found myself skimming through with no real interest. I don't really know how to feel about it. I've learned some new fun facts for my next trivia night, I guess?
Overall quite an interesting read. At times it gets quite scientific and a bit confusing but without doubt it certainly gets you thinking.
As I said in my mid-read review I was quite surprised by how many of my 'areas of interest' were covered here.
So if you have any interest in Horror Films, Mental Illness, Human cloning, Exotic Diseases, Mind Control or anything in between then you should give this book a go!
