Cover for A Primate's Memoir

Part African travelogue, part baboon behavioral study. The travelogue parts are interesting since traveling in Africa, especially in the 1980s, is always an adventure. But the stories of the baboons, and how similar they are to humans, are the highlight for me.

Cover for Parasite Rex

Disgusting, but fascinating. The variety and innovation across parasite lifecycles is amazing.

Cover for The Kaiju Preservation Society

Popcorn read that is pretty much what you expect from the title. Enjoyable read, but I’m surprised it was nominated for the Hugo.

Cover for Extinction

Interesting premise, but not a fan of the writing style and drags a bit. I enjoyed Hominids more.
