The more Amy Stewart books I read, the more I believe she could write about the lint on your sweater and make it interesting. This was another fabulous book by her. I have always had a fascination with earthworms but even if you don't, I think you'd still enjoy the story. I was surprised that there was that much information to fill up the pages. There are times when Stewart goes off track and gives out unnecessary (yet enjoyable) information on other topics. Highly recommended for worm enthusiasts, gardeners, environmentalists and anyone who is curious about the quiet, wriggly creature that lives under the earth.
