A review by lsamp
Lab Girl by Hope Jahren
3.0
I enjoyed parts of this book. The author has had a whirlwind of a life and her book allows a peak behind the curtain of the not so glamorous life of an academic. I thought her writing was a little verbose and could have been edited down a bit.
Every other chapter she alternates between telling personal anecdotes and explaining different scientific phenomena of plants. While she does explain the plant science well so that the average person can understand, it did not particularly interest me.
