Very interesting and fun to read! Ends up being more about "the ways to deal with wild animals" than about people suing crickets for the destruction caused to their crops. Coexistence is not only the best way to deal with these animal hazards but, apparently, the only one that shows good results.
The book draws itself out a bit lo ger than I'd like, but it might be cause I read the e-book version.

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.
