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

emotional informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

File this under ‘books that would have hit harder before I became religious’

Some willfull reinterpretation of certain things to fit the author thesis (ie kosher dietary laws’ purposes) make me hesitate to treat anything in this book I didn’t already know as ‘factual’, but the memoir sections are interesting and the overall mood is enjoyable. Again though, I wish this was more about eels and less about people.

Good taken with a grain of salt.
