Parasite Rex: Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures by Carl Zimmer

informative slow-paced

3.0

It was fairly interesting with a lot of new info. The green crab in California is certainly a huge concern. It was fascinating to learn that female genes push back on fetus development to try to preserve resources while male genes accelerate the fetus, because the male wants babies as fast as possible but the Female wants to survive. 

The book was a bit of a slog at many points, however.
