The Book of Eels: Our Enduring Fascination with the Most Mysterious Creature in the Natural World by Patrik Svensson

5.0

I always love a book that intertwines science and history with story. Could I read a book on eels just because? Probably not. But this author makes the topic so easy to read. Massie did the same with Catherine the Great - A singular topic infused with side notes and information you didn't even know you were missing out on. This book, for instance, informs you on some back history of Freud (who spent some of his early years studying eels - who knew?)

This style really holds my attention. Highly recommend.
