Jim's Review

🐛
Bryson is Jim's spirit author — endlessly curious, laugh-out-loud funny, and somehow able to make even cellular biology riveting. Every chapter is packed with mind-blowing facts that'll make you the most interesting worm at any dinner party. Did you know your body produces enough saliva to fill a swimming pool? Jim didn't either, and now he can't stop thinking about it. If you loved A Short History of Nearly Everything, burrow right into this one next.
