Jellyfish Age Backwards: Nature's Secrets to Longevity by Nicklas Brendborg

4.5


 i am back with another review on a science non fiction book! the secret and mysteries behind living a long life never interested me that much, until my classmate told me that she started reading this book. after diving into the summery, i came to the conclusion that this is a side of biology that actually do interest me.  so, i went ahead and bought a copy of this book. 

soon after, i started reading and annotating in it, and let me tell you: this book did not dissapoint. if you read some more of my reviews, you might have realised that i was slowly falling more and more in love with science non-fiction, and with good reasons! the mysterious art of immortality is no joke and at first glance sounds like a science fiction novel, but it is more than that. it is actually a lot closer than we realise, the only part is: every postive point has a double negative opposite to that. over the years, evolutions made out bodies way too complicated 

if you want to start reading science non-fiction, i want to recommend this one. yes, there is science talk, but the author explains the terms clear and logically, with a spice of sarcasm. plus, the topic is really interesting :D
