I was looking for an audiobook to listen to while I ran, so I picked this one out. Got to 17% and had to quit. The author's whole point is that mosquitos kill more people than anything else, but the language is so unnecessarily dramatic, I just couldn't. At the same time, it was like he struggled for content so he just included lots of depth about slight related things: Alexander the Great and the Greek philosophers, microbes that live in water, and dinosaurs.
So yeah, no thanks.
