Ed Yong, whose humor is as evident as his erudition, prompts us to look at ourselves and our animal companions in a new light - less as individuals and more as the interconnected, interdependent multitudes we assuredly are. Joining the ranks of popular science classics like The Botany of Desire and The Selfish Gene, a groundbreaking, wondrously informative, and vastly entertaining examination of the most significant revolution in biology since Darwin - a "microbe's-eye view" of the world that reveals a marvelous, radically reconceived picture of life on Earth.Įvery animal, whether human, squid, or wasp, is home to millions of bacteria and other microbes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Compared to his no-nonsense tone, some of Brooks’s scenes are shallow, seemingly more about showing off her lyrical tone. ![]() He didn’t write these scenes with fancy language because these moments don’t need dressing up. While both March and The Underground Railroad feature slavery, the difference in how this topic is handled by their respective authors makes March almost unreadable by comparison. As best I can explain it, Whitehead’s scenes of beatings and whippings are visceral, disturbing, and hard to shake. Here’s the thing: If I had kept with March at the beginning of the summer, I might have liked it more. I then read a couple other books, picked up The Underground Railroad ( review here), then The Nickel Boys, also by Colson Whitehead, and returned to March. I read the opening chapter and decided it would be a quick read, maybe something best set aside for August. March was the first book I picked up this summer. ![]() It was an uphill battle to enjoy this book on account of how much I dislike Little Women.

I bet the book is still every bit of genius, but I decided not to read that installment. I knew Penelope Douglas had written Until You, following the same storyline through Jared's perspective, but I have never been a huge fan of reading the same storyline from a different viewpoint. I read Bully ( see a quick blurb about it on my "favorite books" tab), the first book in the "Fall Away" Series, a year or two ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() (3) Make all answers short and to the point What were the three things Mr. (20 Points) (1) Stand when answering a question ![]() ![]() (20 Points) Power and Success According to Ben Ross, practicing strict discipline will gain you what two things?

The chick-lit aspect of the story was fun and engaging, however, the mystery aspect fell flat for me. Don’t get me wrong, there was plenty that I loved about the story, it just wasn’t as tight of a plot. ![]() However, The Weekenders just didn’t grab me.
