Trade Review
"Roach ferrets out basic truths and endless absurd details amid mountains of dry science on her chosen subject. . . . It’s a wonderful read, sprinkled with facts you can quote to amaze your friends." -- San Francisco Chronicle
"[Mary Roach] is a bold, tenacious, and insatiable reporter. . . . A greatly satisfying romp." -- New York Times Book Review
"Roll over, Kinsey. Mary Roach has done it again.... Bonk proves that full-bodied research can be riveting." -- O, The The Oprah Magazine
"Roach is a fearless and witty reporter." -- Wall Street Journal
"[An] account that is at once revealing—alarmingly so—and very very funny. She studs (forgive me) her journey with a multitude of knee-crossing bits of fact that will enliven bedtime conversation everywhere." -- Erik Larson, author of Devil in the White City
