"Bryson feeds the pith, pulp and bitter pips of a subject into his brain and produces a sweet, zingy quantity of juice – this book is a delight."
"so packed with arresting facts (you eat 60 tons of food in a lifetime) and unlikely anecdotes (such as Isambard Kingdom Brunel's six weeks with a half-sovereign lodged in his throat) that you barely notice the sheer volume of anatomical knowledge you're digesting makes complex subjects simple and eminently entertaining." Extraordinary stories about the heart, lungs, genitals plus some anger and life advice – all delivered in the inimitable Bryson style" If it sells hundreds of thousands of copies, like the last one, it will be no bad thing."
"Classic, wry, gleeful Bryson richly interesting an entertaining and absolutely fact-rammed book.
