Review of 'Grunt' on 'Goodreads'

Mary Roach's curiosity is always something I'll be in awe of. She researches the weirdest subjects and I cannot believe how many people are okay with that. The best for us because this book is witty and funny, and sometimes touching. Even if you have no interest in war, the science behind men at war is weirdly compelling.
