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

adventurous informative sad slow-paced

4.0

One part memoir, one part scientific discussion. The Book of Eels focuses on the limits of human knowledge, how we got to that point, and imagining what it'll take to move beyond. There is a good amount of Eel Content and Eel Facts in this book. However, its core threads are much more focused on the relationship between the author and his father, plus the ways in which research about eels affected past researchers.

I listened to this as audiobook and found the narrator to be easy to listen to and comforting.
