    The book was just okay. It was a bit boring at some places. I expected it to be a little better.

    A good overview, but I wish there was more depth in certain areas. The slug glue part was particularly interesting!

    Gross, but in a good way! A captivating and informative read about the evolution of medicine. Prepare to be amazed and disgusted.
