Horseshoe Crabs and Velvet Worms: The Story of the Animals and Plants That Time Has Left Behind by Richard Fortey

2.0

I showed up for the horseshoe crabs, and I gave it this rating because it reads like rambly prose crossed with a textbook. The science is sound and even interesting, but this is a SLOW read, especially with the way the author gets sidetracked but flowery descriptions and personal anecdotes. I forced myself through this book because I wanted to like it, but I did find it to be incredibly dense, and I kind of wish I'd known that before I'd picked it.
