This is my favorite non fiction book I have ever read. This book was super interesting and fun to read. My favorite fact that I learned in this book was that starfish can weigh up to 11 pound because I always imagined them as little creatures. This book is definitley a nonfiction book and I would recommend this to anyone who likes statistics.
