The Universe Within: Discovering the Common History of Rocks, Planets, and People by Neil Shubin

3.0

I listened to the audiobook and I don't know if it was the background-noise-voice of the narrator or Shubin's text itself, but I had the hardest time paying attention to this. I just finished Bill Nye's book on evolution and kept comparing this to that -- and Shubin's just fell flat for me. Some of the facts he shared were interesting and ones I hadn't known, but overall the book lacked the joie de vivre I like in my science books.
