Who knew a book about eels would have such a chokehold on me? My family, friends, and even coworkers are all benefitting/suffering (depending on your point of view) from my newfound obsession with the mysterious creatures. Loved it as an audiobook and definitely recommend to anyone with an active sense of curiosity.

I always love a book that intertwines science and history with story. Could I read a book on eels just because? Probably not. But this author makes the topic so easy to read. Massie did the same with Catherine the Great - A singular topic infused with side notes and information you didn't even know you were missing out on. This book, for instance, informs you on some back history of Freud (who spent some of his early years studying eels - who knew?)

This style really holds my attention. Highly recommend.
