Gave this as a gift to my friend who loves quirky non-fiction, and she loved it! The writing is engaging, and it’s quite informative. It’s a great conversation starter, too!

Disappointed with the Condition
I was excited to read this book, but it arrived with a damaged cover. The content seems good, but I was really put off by the condition it came in. Would’ve liked better packaging during shipping.

Enjoyable but Lacks Depth
I found this book interesting, but it felt a bit surface-level. While the anecdotes were fun, I wish there were more scientific depth in some sections. Still, I enjoyed the quirky stories about rats!

A Fascinating Read for Science Lovers
The Disreputable Exploits of the Rat is a must-read for anyone interested in animal behavior. It’s packed with fascinating facts and well-researched insights. I bought it for my teenage daughter, and she couldn’t put it down!
