Very interesting read and it's narrated in an engaging way. I felt like I already knew that the female form is the spine of human evolution but it was nice to read the data behind.

Amusing, educational, and fun to read.
Super smart, but easy to read, Eve is one of the best books I’ve read in a while. It takes a long view of evolution through the history of women—childbirth, sex, aging, relationships—they’re all examined and explained by someone who’s not just a smart scientist but a really, really good writer. I heard Cat Bohannon on Freakanomics Radio, and after listening to her talk about evolution and history and turning down an offer to be a high paid sex worker, I knew I needed to read this book. It was worth every penny. Even the footnotes (especially the footnotes) are funny and insightful. It’s a long read, but never feels slow or boring.

A very thorough and detailed description of the ways that the female body has evolved over time. It isn’t a book I would typically read, as it was very heavily scientific, but it was definitely an interesting and thought provoking book.
