This was such a great book. For one, I learned more about eels than I ever thought I would and I never realized how fascinating a fish they are and the thousands of years of history behind its science, dating back to Aristotle. And two, how the author weaves philosophical arguments and points through his and his father’s love of eels. It’s such an unexpected book. It’s difficult to put down. And this is his first book! Highly recommend it!
