Review
'A publishing sensation that ... sets out to free toilet talk from its taboo' The Times 'Enders' gut manifesto calls on its readers to celebrate their lower bodies' achievements, rather than apologise for them.' Guardian '[Enders] is utterly, charmingly obsessed with the gut, gut bacteria and poo. She writes and talks about her subject matter with such childlike enthusiasm it's infectious ... The perfect toilet book.' -- Annalisa Barbieri Guardian 'Giulia Enders has a warm and simple prose style and her sister's illustrations are delightful.' -- William Cook Spectator 'Giulia Enders takes a no-nonsense approach to bodily functions ... [Gut] reads like a breeze ... you can totally see why it's been massive.' Grazia '[Enders is] a publishing sensation ... There is something compelling and refreshing about her curiosity and popular approach.' -- Simon Usbourne Independent 'A primer on poo ... Enders offers nuggets of wisdom on everything from the ideal position in which to evacuate your bowels to the science of faeces identification ... There are some fascinating insights here ... Food for thought.' Independent on Sunday '[Gut] had me laughing aloud.' -- Debora MacKenzie New Scientist 'The revelation that each of us depends on our individual living world, with far more inhabitants than there are people on earth, is surely sensational.' -- Clive Cookson Financial Times 'Enders, a German research microbiologist, obviously adores her subject matter ... [her] project is to show how those essential functions of the human body that some people may consider unseemly or unspeakable are in fact wondrous and worthy of exultation.' -- Karen Hitchcock Weekend Australian 'The world's most surprising page-turner.' -- Anna Murphy The Times 'Gut has more to offer than potty-language and a sense of humor ... It's hard not to be awed by Enders' vast knowledge of anatomy and microbiology and share her fascination with the 100 trillion tiny creatures in our tummies.' Beauty and Wellbeing 'An amazing romp down our alimentary canal.' New Scientist 'Best Books of 2015' 'A quirky tour of the gastro-intestinal tract.' Sunday Herald 'Both funny and informative, a brilliant examination of one of our most complex - and underappreciated - organs.' The Observer
