Who Knew?
A most enlightening book! I read this over the course of 5 or 6 bedtime sessions and thoroughly enjoyed not only the information about the gut, but also the sprinkled in humor. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who has a history of “intestinal complaints” as it may provide some pointers on how to address them. This is also a good documentary that goes along with the book.

An easy-to-understand tour of the human digestive system, graced with the neatest illustrations.
It was easy to understand, especially for a medical book, and I loved the illustrations. Usually, medical book illustrations are somewhat on the Yucky side especially when dealing with intestines, gut flora, and the by-products of digestion that end up in the toilet. Nothing like that here. The illustrations get the job done while being pleasant to look at, and not cutesy or patronizing either.

This is a great book. It is fun to read and very different than I expected. It gives the gut part of our bodies a life separate from what we think. Each part is given a character and it really is fun to read and you learn so much about a part of our bodies we take for granted. The gut really does have a separate mind from our brain. Never thought about it in this way. A must read if you are interested in your health and well being.

Llegué a esta lectura por el documental de Netflix, donde Giulia Enders explica el poder de la microbiota, el libro explica con fundamentos científicos y un excelente diseño gráfico la importancia de los procesos metabólicos en nuestro organismo, es una lectura para entender de manera muy sencilla todos los tecnicismos y complejidad que los libros especializados de bioquímica y medicina describen. Los dibujos y esquemas del texto son muy ilustrativos.

Amazing book and delivery

Loved this book and have recommended it to my family and friends. It is very informative, learnt things about my innards that I’ve never heard about … but its put across in a entertaining very ‘readable’ way. Would say this is a book everyone should read and taught in schools to give children an idea of how their guts work and more importantly how to look after them!
