Interesting story of the Church Lab of Harvard trying to de-extinct the woolly mammoth. I was able to follow the story when the author wrote but I had some trouble when I was reading what the scientists wrote. I enjoyed the book and learned a lot. I enjoyed the glimpse into a world I know little abo...

YES. That is literally what I have written first in my notes for today's book review. Woolly: The True Story of the Quest to Revive One of History's Most Iconic Extinct Creatures by Ben Mezrich is the perfect mixture of technical science and literary narrative.

It recently came to my attention, having read quite a number of Russian classics over the years, that they all seem to be "gray."

I started reading it but gave up after 60 pages. It just didnt keep my attention. There was no suspense at all between the characters & by plays. It could be a good story & book but idk it was just boring so i gave up.

NOT the same thing as having sex on the actual moon. If you had sex on a down comfort...

Starting with the larger than life title, Sex on the Moon proceeds at a very brisk pace as it unfolds with the story of a bright young man named Thad Roberts. As with all of Mezrich’s books this moves at a fast pace and has a fiction-type dialogue. Mezrich does jump around at times which can be c...

Mezrich's works of faction are generally a fun read, even if (or, perhaps, largely because) he rarely lets reality get in the way of a good story. This one, however, doesn't really work on either level. There's an obviously great story lurking underneath — or, if you're not really concerned with the...

Kind of unreadable. All the dialogue sounds the same, and it all sounds like the author, rather than the people described. Library copy
