I have read one of his books two years ago and fell in love with his writing style. And this book just proved my point of view! It's a funny but also serious guide through the body, from cells through organs to the death. It contains images, which I really liked, and is just a very well written book. I love Brysons writing, that's for sure. It's a recommendation for everyone who wants to dig into science but not too much. I study biology and I can say that this book is not too much. It's just a really nice balance of facts, fun and historical stories behind the facts or persons who build the base of the knowledge.
