An interesting and informative book that I found highly enjoyable and a great read for those interested in plants and animals. I liked the way the author structured the book and how they wrote about each of the plants and animals listed. 4.5/5

I think this book was really interesting. I like the informative take on this book, and how the things we may not give a second thought to, but use daily, is just so interesting It was eye opening and informative!!

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

I started reading this book because I just loved the concept. Unfortunately, the promising start didn't translate into a consistently engaging read. I did not finish the book. While the initial chapters were insightful and well-researched, the author's writing style became increasingly dense, making it a struggle to stay engaged throughout.

Thanks to NetGalley and The Experiment for providing me with an advanced review copy.

I really found the information in Tamed informative and interesting. Any animal lover will think the same, I think. I didn't realize when I requested Tamed on NetGalley that it was of the same content as Alice Roberts' 2017 book of the same name.

I enjoyed this book. The best parts of the book are where Roberts tells fictious stories to set the stage for discussing domestication. I also enjoyed the thorough discussion and I found the science very accessible. There was also some clever wording that I enjoyed. I did feel, however, that the book had a couple of weak points. Some of the writing was overly literary and sometimes there was just too much detail. Overall, this is a very worthwhile read. Thank you to Netgalley and The Experiment for the digital review copy.
