Reviews for Ten Million Aliens: A Journey Through the Entire Animal Kingdom

'One of the most compulsively readable, astoundingly compendious and endlessly thrilling natural histories ever written ... This is a book that I will treasure for ever.' -- Stephen Fry 'Barnes has a wonderful knowledge of wildlife and a gift for bringing his enthusiasm to life - He has a deft turn of phrase and a lyrical style.' -- Rosie Boycott 'Barnes brings the animal kingdom to life.' -- Independent 'Reading Barnes's prose is a bit like peeling a rather elegant onion, as he gradually reveals secrets about his life through the medium of the natural world.' -- BBC Wildlife Magazine
