#BookReview for "Slippery Beast: A True Crime Natural History, with Eels" by Ellen Ruppel Shell
⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Animal facts are always welcome. However, this could have been a podcast episode instead of a full book. Not bad but not super interesting.
Eel smuggling trade is bigger than drug trade? That makes me dubious about author's research. Wasn't able to fact check some claims.
Book's purpose is to highlight how eels are endangered and need for conservation. Noble cause.
