I Contain Multitudes
The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life
Ed Yong
Summary: It felt to me like a very long blog entry or a longish article on web rather than a science popular book.
Score: 55 / 100
I thought it would be a bit more pleasant to read. The author presents a lot of new facts, but I don’t feel 100% convinced by his lines of thoughts, predictions and interpretations of some recent discoveries.
