Parasites: The Inside Story by Scott Lyell Gardner, Gabor R. Rácz, Judy Diamond
informative
4.5
Focused on evolution of parasites. Some chapter’s stories were better than others. I’m thinking the 3 authors wrote different chapters. Great drawings.

Such a strong book from the very first page. Torrey Peters is a genius, and I want to read everything she has written and will write. And she is working on making Detransition, Baby into a show or movie!

This book had a perspective I had not been exposed to before: an English intelligence officer who recruited German people to be spies for the UK during WWII and post-war time. It was really interesting to read about how Jews in England viewed the split of Germany. Despite the Holocaust recently occurring, anti-semitism seemed like it was still common. No one actually says the word Holocaust and they talk very indirectly about it. In the book, some Jews saw East Germany and the Soviet Union (who helped defeat the Nazis), and thus communism, as less anti-Semitic than the West. I liked the writing style. Elsa Fennan was a great character.
