All a bit pointless

1 star

Fancied a non-fiction read and I enjoy well-written science books so was looking forward to this.

It's not at all what I was expecting. It's not an in-depth look at one aspect or discipline of a science, it's a collection of eye-opening statements with fairly humdrum explanations. For example: "Babies are powered by rocket fuel!" which sounds intriguing but then the explanation is really that rockets and babies process energy in essentially the same way, which is clearly self-evident.

Disappointing.
