I could have saved myself by reading the other review on this book — indeed, not for laymen. I read the whole thing but hardly understood any of it. Dense, scientific journal style writing. I enjoyed reading about lungfish though!

I don't know what possessed me to think that I would be capable of reading this. Actually, I take that back, comprehending this. I may have just seen it all, but I don't know what the fuck I just read. Not for laymen.
