| This was an incredible book, an incredible story! Avey tells his tale in a no-frills, straightforward manner, and the subtlety of his delivery makes it that much more evocative. The side story of "the cigarettes" and what happened after is incredible. It's really quite a bit of a kick in the gut, but a very worthwhile read. |

| This was a lot of fun. Some content doesn't work as well now as it would have when it was first published, but I guffawed quite a few times. There are some brilliantly witty lines here. |

| This was kind of cool, and was different from my usual reading choices. I learned a bit from it, and I generally liked the author's voice. It gets into a wee bit too much detail at times, but that's not a bit deal. Wells looks at human development since the dawn of agriculture rather than being hunter-gatherers. It's kind of cool - the lenses through which he looks at humans included dental development and cavities, diabetes, and noise/light, etc. It's pretty cool. |
