This is the best kind of non-fiction - fun, quirky, and accessible to nearly everyone. The chapters are short, making it perfect for those with limited understanding. It also would work well as a coffee table or bathroom book for those who are into that, as you can easily just read a single chapter and come back to it later without issue.

Many of the authors were funny. Some were political, which will alienate some readers, which is unfortunate because of the great information and perspective about humans as just a small piece of an enormous world that has been around for a long time.

I shared some of the information with friends (clown fish, civil war amputations, maggots for wounds, our future in space). I really think there's something for everyone.

Some of the drawings were odd or confusing. I supposed they were intended to be funny but maybe they just didn't go well in the e-book version.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC. I will purchase for my library.
