This book is about crimes such as breaking and entering, burglary, assault, murder, sabotage, and terrorism. The perpetrators are all animals, plants, and trees. Using her humor, Mary Roach investigates how we deal with lawbreakers who are just using their instincts. Animals such as bears, cougars, monkeys, birds, and rats are discussed but also trees, legumes, and other plants are included. This was a fascinating look at nature. Although I found the last two chapters dealing with poisons and extermination was a bit much, this was an interesting read. Roach's humor adds to the book in the right places. I strongly recommend this book to those who enjoy hiking and the outdoors, biology, and the environment.
