I received an ARC of Evolution Gone Wrong through Netgalley courtesy of the publisher. I am always a little weary diving into non-fiction books especially if they are related to science. Will they be too dense or perhaps too advanced for a beginner like me. With Evolution Gone Wrong, the author Alexander Bezzerides was able to touch upon numerous areas of human evolution and how it currently affects our everyday lives in a way that provided plenty of information without overwhelming the reader. A great book with the perfect amount of humour for anyone looking for a beginner understanding of certain aspects of human evolution that humans deal with regularly.

Great science writing in a wonderful book

I loved this book. Alex Bezzerides is a great science writer. The book has everything I want in science writing. Bezzerides gives good explanations of the science and writes with a great sense of humor. Indeed, some of his writing made me laugh out loud. He also puts himself into the story, creating a closer bond with the reader. Peter Davidson provided great illustrations that helped clarify the information. I think the book could have used more illustrations, not to clarify any additional information, but just because they are so great. This was one of the books, that when I got to the end, I was sad to say goodbye to the author and illustrator. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in science. Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins for the advance reader copy.
