The Sting of the Wild by Justin O. Schmidt

adventurous informative lighthearted medium-paced

4.5

A really great and informative book. While there is repetition of information a few times I think it helps with the memorisation of facts and allows the book truly to be read in any order. 

It’s really interesting to get a bit of insight into Schmidts life while also getting a tonne of information on stinging insects. There’s a lot in here I soon won’t forget. Despite a large portion being about how painful the stings are, it’s actually made me less afraid of these insects. 

Also the narrator did a great job, making humorous moments even better and emphasising specific points.
