Let's get the obvious out of the way: the author's name fits the subject matter to a T, and the fact that he decomposed the book with some fungi and documented it makes this a very chef's kiss project.

Entangle Life is a really enjoyable listen as read by the author. I found myself thinking "who needs aliens when fungi are real". I'm not creeped out by much, but things like parasites, swarms, and living things that "think" without brains... I don't like those. I did bounce between fear and awe while reading this book, which was a fun experience.

I widely recommend this if you're into the natural world and especially if you want to learn more about topics that aren't often talked about. One of the author's most compelling points is that fungal studies fall under plant science in universities - we don't think of fungi as this broad category of living creatures with their own properties. Perhaps we should.
