Went into this book knowing I wouldn’t get any answers and therefore I was able to enjoy this wonderful, weird experience. Usually not a fan of scenery descriptions but the writing and/or biology perspective certainly made it more interesting. Throughout I was speculating along with the biologist (and at some point, hallucinating with her too, reading one of my ideas into it and realising later I misread) and formed many theories that may or may not be true. Very intriguing.
