Praise for Mary Roach
"There is much to enjoy about Mary Roach-her infectious awe for quirky science and its nerdy adherents, her one-liners...She is beloved, and justifiably so."
- Jon Ronson, New York Times Book Review
"Our most consistently entertaining science journalist...Roach goes where other writers wouldn't dare...And her search produces images-a kind of technopoetry-that are hard to forget."
- O, The Oprah Magazine
"Nobody does weird science quite like [Mary Roach]."
- Lexi Pandell, Wired
"[Mary Roach] is a bold, tenacious, and insatiable reporter...[She] has a knack for posing the embarrassing, nonlinear and too obvious questions that others are always afraid to ask."
- Pamela Paul, New York Times Book Review
"[Roach's books are] meticulously researched, beautifully written, and disturbingly funny...Roach's prose is a triumph-an engaging blend of anecdote, research, and reflection...She's the most courageous-and empathetic-science writer we've got."
- Emily Rapp Black, Boston Globe
"Roach excels in capturing science's 'foreign country' aspect-roaming as a stranger in a strange land among its weird norms and novelties, grand monomaniacal passions, practitioners' idiosyncrasies and obscure lexicon...She writes exquisitely about the excruciating."
- Stephen Phillips, Los Angeles Times
