pretty good book, a very easy read for the most part. although there is a glossary and index at the back of the book there are a lot of biological terms and processes that aren't explained at all in the book, I found myself having to google what certain words or phrases meant in order to understand the book. the pictures are super high quality and the chapters are nice and short for an easy little read.
