I kind of wish there was a stronger divide between the topics of each chapter. I feel like you could rearrange the ideas in this book at random into completely different chapters and it wouldn't make much of a difference.

A couple months later, my opinion hasn't really changed - interesting information, not particularly well-written.

There are definitely a lot of cool facts to share with friends in this book. Any obnoxious nerds like me should definitely read this book.

This is definitely not very well-written - the transitions are pretty choppy, and Yong's attempts at humor are pretty cringe-worthy. But the book is otherwise pretty interesting and well-researched.
