I loved this book. It is one of those that opens your awareness and full of mesmerizing facts: Insects with ears on their knees, humans that can echolocate, whales that communicate across oceans, birds with hearing that changes depending on the seasons, wasps that know how to feel a cockroach brain and so on. It is full of wonder and will make you “see” the world around you differently.

One of my favorite books this year so far.

This is a positive book and a good introduction to humanism. I found it interesting but a bit boring, maybe because there was too much information and names that were new to me.

I am a big fan of Fred Vargas and I was happy to read a new adventure of Inspector Adamsberg. I enjoyed the inspector way of thinking, the hedgehog, the description of all the food they eat, Retancourt, the potions and superstitions, the politics. I hope she will write another one soon.
