The Book of Eels: Our Enduring Fascination with the Most Mysterious Creature in the Natural World by Patrik Svensson

5.0

The Book of Eels by Patrik Svensson is a fantastic introduction to the millennium long question of where the eel comes from.
The book is formated with information about eels interjected with the authors personal experience eel fishing with his father. I personally loved the mixture of memoir and scientific research. You can feel the passion Svensson has for the eel through the pages of the book and it is contagious.
If you are at all curious about eels and intrested in reading the experiences a son has had fishing with his father I couldn't recommend this book enough. It's absolutely beautiful and has easily become one of my favorites.
