This book was FASCINATING. I think one of the best I've read all year. I love the fresh/unique approach to monster myth (vamps, werewolves, zombies) and combining that with science. All the parasite bits were really fascinating...though if I had read this like 15 yrs ago when I was overly paranoid I would probably be freaked out. I think what it says about nature providing a solution and the evolution of things is pretty darn interesting too.
I really liked his writing style too, very low key and relatable and sciency stuff can easily get bogged down in details. It was a good mix of levity and mystery/tension. It's not often times that you read about a parasite's MO and chuckle to yourself (at least I don't).
