Gory Details: Adventures from the Dark Side of Science by Erika Engelhaupt

5.0

This book is awesome, just had to share! She details so many interesting things. The only issue is that it's annoying that she immediately jumps to the next topic before going more in-depth, but it also encouraged me to research some of the stuff (like the Nutshell Studies) on my own time. Most of the things she mentions aren't THAT gross. The forensic nematology and virology is my favorite part. I didn't realize how much science goes into it! Her writing is clear and there isn't too much fluff. I actually looked into her because I read her articles in National Geographic growing up, and always enjoyed them. The book is like a bunch of her articles put together. Really fun and interesting :))) I hope she write more books!
