Why Fish Don't Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life by Lulu Miller

adventurous funny informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

A refreshingly honest, gentle narration of an interesting story. The true beauty of the book lies in its second half-- the culmination of the author's (and David Starr Jordan's) life experience. Why Fish Don't Exist is an interesting combination of science, philosophy, good, evil, beauty, ugliness, and a search for meaning. The care with which the author writes about the misunderstood members of society feels respectful and earnest, not patronizing or pitying. A well-written, thought-provoking read. Would recommend!
