I love Mary Roach's style. Every book is a joy and this one has kept me busy for months!

I loved the subject matter, learmed a lot and had to question some if my biases. 

Would be a 5 except i could not read more than a chapter at a time and i started avoiding it. Wish i hadnt started it with my kid because i think it slowed me down. 

But i am so glad i finished because i got a ton out of it, including laughs.

A very interesting and informative read, but also so slow, and filled with so much unrelated chatter about somebody's clothes etc.

Focuses on heavily on removal. Most mentions are somewhat lighthearted or at least pragmatic. I skipped the Killing with Kindness chapter about humane killing because it was too intense for me.

Fuzz was my first Mary Roach book, and it's an interesting look at animals who break human laws. I found that the writing was very much aimed at fiction readers, and was much more pop than science. I also found the emphasis on how to kill various "problem" animals unnecessary and would have like far more history than the book gave.
