Mary Roach where have you been all my life? Or at least since I started reading science books??? Laugh out loud funny, informative, and just GOOD. Highly recommend. I can't wait to read her others.

Mary Roach is an 11 year old boy in disguise as a grown woman. I was surprised to find that this book was full of examination of the bodily functions an astronaut has to deal with in space.
Mary Roach writes about science in a way that is funny and accessible to everyone. She really, really likes using footnotes though, which I think interrupts the flow of her otherwise engaging narrative.
