Equal parts memoir, historical account, and scientific essay, The Book of Eels is insightful and profound, fully capturing the elusiveness and mystique of the eel.  Fair warning -- the undercurrent of the book is the author describing his close relationship with his father, which may turn off some readers. However, at this book's core is the author's sheer fascination and admiration for a creature that is as central to our understanding of entire cultures and the human condition, as it is mysterious.
