My Thoughts

When I saw this book, I thought, “why not”. I wasn’t excited by it but I’m interested in just about everything so… Why not?

I’m so glad I read it. Eels are truly interesting creatures and I had no idea about them. I didn’t know about their lifecycles or how long they live. I really didn’t know that we didn’t know that much about them. Such a weird tale and a surprising cameo by Sigmond Freude…

Recommedation

Loved it! It is a little bit like stereo instructions at places but I liked it none the less.
