Well worth a listen!

Would you listen to 13 Things That Don't Make Sense: The Most Intriguing Scientific Mysteries again? Why?

Yes! I actually listened through the whole book, and when it completed, it looped back to the beginning... and I found myself gladly listening through for a second time! Michael Brooks delves into the history behind the science with a wit and style that reminds me of Bill Bryson! To me that's a huge compliment! If you enjoyed

What did you like best about this story?

The Author brings to light many interesting anomolies found in our world... things you may never have thought of, and presents them for you to ponder. I was surprised to find that one of my favorite parts of the book was the anomolly of death. We seem to take for granted that our bodies age and degrade over time... but did you ever consider that this is something we evolved? And how can you not be fascinated by the placebo effect? It surprises me to learn how little we really know about it! And... why are the Pioneer space craft veering off course? Is there something we don't know about gravity? If you're like me, these mysteries will excite you, and get you thinking.

Have you listened to any of Matt Addis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I had never listened to Matt Addis prior to this audio book... but his narration was superb! His voice seemed perfectly matched to the author's writing style. His performance made the material and the book even better.

Any additional comments?

This book is for the curious and open minded. Yes, some subjects will be more interesting than others, depending where your interests lie. But I only remember struggling through a small section of the book... and now that I'm writing this review, I can't remember what it was.
