I was curious about potential fun poisonings to write about. It was enjoyable, but went on longer than necessary and had a good amount of overlap.

Interesting, fast paced. I like it, but it was definitely not an engaging “story. “

Amy Stewart's book about plants are always interesting but she ascribes too many anthropomorphic qualities to her subjects. Plants aren't evil, or wicked, they just are. Their poisons and toxins are biological defense mechanisms and weren't evolved simply to decimate humankind.
