inner fish

I had expected this book to be boring and even a hard read because of that. However the author like Radha said doesn't make the book a hard read. Instead he narrates the story in a way that the reader can easily grasp it. I find the diagrams at first a little confusing but then after actually studying them i began to grasp it.
Even from the chapter headings I knew that this book would not be a dull because of the present humor and randomness. His adventures journeys in his job amuses me. I Too would agree with many when saying that the discovery of the Tiktaalik was the most interesting. Also I find it quite interesting of how humans and fish can be connected in evolution (since I think I am far from a fish). This book is very interesting and im excited to learn more of the Tiktaalik added with the authors amusing humor:)

  1. I totally agree with you Aarti! I thought it was going to be incredibly boring but was surprised and I was actually oddly intrigued by the fact that we are in fact descendants of fish!
