Why Fish Don't Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life by Lulu Miller

challenging dark hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

This was informative, engaging, and a fantastic journey of discovery, both scientific and personal. When I started this book, I did not expect to be taken on a tour through the childhood of this young man who grew up to be a person most would categorize as a heroic figure, battling valiantly against science and nature to add order to chaos, only to end up breaking down the real-world harmful beliefs of this person. Lulu's own personal journey to find meaning is an engaging thread through the sometimes colder threads of science throughout this book and I love the way she's wrapped her own search for meaning into this book's research.
