Reminded me a lot of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, which I loved (and prefer slightly over this one, but that’s just preference; this book is still amazing in its own right). While the beginning is a bit slow, and there’s a lot of references for things I, at least, haven’t seen, the second half is incredible. Big tear-jerker. Very heartwarming. Great nuggets of wisdom that don’t feel trite (which Aristotle, despite how much I like it, did struggle with at some points). Recommend.
Moderate: Fatphobia
Minor: Death
