A light, fun and thought-provoking dive into the world of insects with a super knowledgeable guide. The writing style was relatable and the information was fascinating without being too dense, employing some really cool vignettes into how insects work and affect our day-to-day lives.

This was a great read. Can't say I will remember everything, or even close to everything, but it definitely spiked my interest in bugs, and other tiny critters. So much I did not know, and so much interesting stuff there. Have entertained quite some people around me with weird facts.

This book was interesting but more like short nonfiction articles then a cohesive thesis.

Som det andre eg har lese av norsk popvit, er denne boka veldig kort (191 sider før takk og kjelder). Men språket er underhaldande og ekstremt medrivande, og entusiasmen til Sverdrup-Thygeson smittar. Eg har høyrd henne mange gonger på Abels tårn, og boka har den same sjarmen, det same fargerike språket og mange sjarmerande anekdotar og sidesprang.

Bak i boka er det ei liste med bøker til vidare lesing (alle på engelsk), og det poengterer eigentleg det eg tenker på denne boka som: ei innføring og appetittvekkar.

Eg gler meg til ho skriv ei lengre bok om billene som lev i hole eiketre.
