Book Review: Bodypedia by Adam Taor
Entertaining, at times odd and eccentric whistlestop tour through the human body’s most bizarre functions. A bit awkward and OTT in its storytelling at times. I found myself wanting more in-depth understanding of these medical wonders rather than silly and witty nuggets of information. #Books #Bookreview #medicine #science #nonfiction
