On Monsters: An Unnatural History of Our Worst Fears by Stephen T. Asma

4.0

An interesting and well researched book which is unfortunately hampered by the last few chapters. Asma detours from his previous tone into several poorly-thought-out and, honestly, misplaced discussions of terrorism, biotechnology, and postmodernisn. When Asma sticks to the facts, it's a great book. When he inserts his obnoxious and distracting personal opinions, the book thuds.
