I literally would rather eat dirt than read this .
As someone who dropped all sciences and picked up social sciences, I find this novel disinteresting, and it's really killed my drive for English. The discoveries are pretty nice and all , but it's 600+ pages of non fiction and science.
Thoughts on the novel?

I've read this book and I did enjoy it cos I love science but I would hate doing this as a text for English.

No techniques and it does get pretty repetitive in its tone after a while. Just sorta listing discoveries and dropping names that you won't remember one after the after.

Honestly writing a 8 page essay on this for the HSC would feel weird.
