funny informative lighthearted medium-paced

4.5

I feel like I'm a college-educated immunologist ready to start diagnosing people right away (I'm joking). But Dettmer does an amazing job of simplifying incredibly complex biological processes—it's nonfiction but it reads as easily as any fiction book would.

This is a greatly great book for the right person! I thought the subject matter was fascinating, at that the author did a great job digging into the subject matter in more easily digestible phrasing. But, even with the humor I wasn’t hooked. Def recommend for science buffs though!
