Welcome to Litsy!

If you like Mary Roach, I think you‘ll like this. I recommend reading it aloud at the dinner table, but your mileage may vary. Cause the sex life of crustaceans and anthropoids can get a little weird.

This was absolutely the best book I‘ve read so far this year (#14!) and I‘m buying at least 2 more copies as gifts. I love love love marine biology and this book gave me hours of amazing information in a funny, not journal of science-y way. It even has a suggested soundtrack (and I made a Sex in the Sea playlist on Spotify if you want to listen). Excellent writing, excellent puns, excellent info on how humans can do better. Absolute must read.

Come for the details on marine biology and reproduction, stay for the warning of human interference and the call for conservation. Full of weirdness, humor, and science, it's an easy, informative trip to the deep. 🐳🐙🐠

I loved this book! So much good information about procreation under the ocean! Told in a fun, engaging way - with humor and pop culture and a playlist! While she covers the effects of climate change and humans, the last section focuses on hope and what we can do.

Who knew all this kinky sexy stuff was going on under the sea? Fascinating, charming, amusing and surprising (who knew barnacles are the Ron Jeremy's of the sea world).? Ultimately poignant because all of these wonderful creatures are being effected negatively by global warming. I think it opens your eyes to the wonders of our world.
