Gory Details is a great example of a nonfiction work that had the potential to be excellent, but tried to cover too many topics and each of those topics' coverage suffered for it. If the author had trimmed down the subjects a bit and delved into each one deeper, I think I'd have been much more interested, but as it was, every time a topic really drew me in, it was too late and we were on to the next one!

The other issue was my own expectations: I think the title had me expecting more "gore" and less "gross-out", but a massive chunk of this book was about bugs and bodily fluids. (If you're interested in bugs, this one's definitely for you - I, on the other hand, am only squeamish about one thing in life and it's real-life parasites, so I skipped a couple of the audiobook chapters)

At the end of the day, I more or less had fun with this audiobook, but it left a lot to be desired and I probably wouldn't reach for another book by this author in the future.
