Failure to Finish 1: Bonk - Mary Roach
AUDIOBOOK read by Sandra Burr
After zoning out for the hundredth time, I finally decided to give up on Bonk about halfway through. Years ago, I read Roach’s Stiff and found it very interesting, so I was excited to start another of her non-fiction research books. Bonk is a look into how science has dealt with sex over the years. While I found some of the items interesting, the monotony of both the text and the reader (who sounds sort of like she’s computer generated) couldn’t ultimately hold my attention. Perhaps I would have had better luck with the actual book and the ability to skim a bit, but no such luck with the audiobook. I have two other Roach audiobooks on the iPod, so I’m hoping this one is an anomaly and that the others are more to my liking.
