Book Review: Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law by Mary Roach

Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law

Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law by Mary Roach
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read by author Mary Roach.  I have to say that when she sets out of research a book, she throws herself into it!  I don't read a lot of non-fiction books, but her style of narrative non-fiction is incredibly captivating.  Plus she's got a real sense of humor which frequently comes through, making serious subjects much more light-hearted.  Even her footnotes are a lot of fun -- don't skip them!  Our book club discussion was very interesting.
