I’m not very good at reading non-fiction – without a story I get bored, and indeed I did start this book over a year ago, and then got bored and left it for a long time before taking it up again to finish it.
I did enjoy listening to it (in two halves!) and was constantly annoying my husband with wee titbits of information from the book. Having studied biochemistry and molecular genetics there was a lot of stuff that I knew once and had forgotten, and some stuff which I’d never really thought about. A lot of interesting history of science stuff and factoids about health and diet etc in different parts of the world. Fun.
