4 stars
**Audible**

I may just read/listen to all her books this month. I listened to Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law last month and really enjoyed it. Gulp is very similar.

I like how Mary Roach structures her books. She tells the facts but she also has fun stories sprinkled throughout.

I'm not going to lie... for this one, a lot of the stories were a bit gross, but then we talking about eating weird things and bodily fluids. The most interesting story to me was the part on testing dog foods and how dogs react.

I personally am incredibly curious and always want to know why and how things work. Mary Roach gives that to me on all her books. On to the next one... Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife.

Ellen | 3582 comments Absolutely one of my favorite authors. Yes, she does sprinkle in a lot of humor within her investigative science.

I think you would love them too! And she has so many subject to choose from. I've read three recently and I think one of her newest ones, Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law, is my favorite so far. With Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife right behind it.

She's quickly become one of my favorite. I now with I could switch her out for one of the other authors I picked for the top 64! lol
