This was pretty interesting but there was no sense of organization that I could tell; like alphabetical by species type: grasshoppers, crickets, beetles, etc., alphabetical by scientific name, etc. I’m a very methodical person when it comes to field guides like that and some sense of organization is super helpful. For example, most dinosaur field guides (if they’re not alphabetical as well) at least have them grouped in order by era which makes it easier to digest. Most space books are grouped by each topic of space they are talking about such as the Solar System, stars, exoplanets, etc. This organization, like I stated above, however, was completely random and I had trouble making sense of it. Also, the jokes, after the first fifteen or so, started getting annoying.
