Ms. Adventure: My Wild Explorations in Science, Lava, and Life by Jess Phoenix
3.0
3.5
I love reading about things I know nothing about and I enjoyed this book from Jess Phoenix (who I follow on Twitter) but something was missing here but I'm not quite sure what. Did I want a little more science? Maybe Did I just want more photos? Maybe?
I mean there were encounters with bad guys, lava flows, eruptions, wacky stunts done for crazy TV people, a visit to The Explorer's Club to name a few so I'm not sure what I needed. I think part of her message is science is important but it also involves a lot of boring minutia and hours and hours of data analysis and it's NOT all exploding lava bombs.
So anyway, it's good and quite interesting but I don't find myself gushing about it and trying to convince everybody to read it in the way I was hoping to feel after finishing.
