Ugh what an ending. Learned lots of eel facts!
Author lost their dad to cancer at the end of the book.
Not an ideal read for me right now.

This is not a book about eels. Well, it is, but it's also a book about the scientific process and our relationship with nature and the author's relationship with his father. It made me cry several times (this is an endorsement.)
