2.5
The first two chapters about black widows and mantids were good, but the rest dragged on. I found myself wondering how much of the information is outdated, and a lot of the anecdotes he includes feels like they could have been made up

This is the first nonfiction book I loved - I had to read it for high school biology, but I've re-read it a couple times since.

Gruesome (deliberately so but that didn't make me enjoy any the more). I would highly recommend to anyone who likes blood, guts and death or collecting insects in jars.

Each chapter is more or less a stand alone essay about a specific predator Grice has personal experience with, although he also includes tidbits of history about the subjects. The writing is very engaging and the details gruesome. My favorite chapter was about Mantids.
