Reviews
"A funny, fascinating catalog of our collective shortcomings that's tough to put down." -- Discover "An entertaining and enlightening guide to human imperfections." -- Financial Times "The author's offbeat view of human evolution makes for lively reading and invites readers to think deeply." -- Kirkus Reviews "Wildly entertaining." --Bustle.com "Nobody will see their body in the same way again." --Daily Express "In Human Errors , Nathan Lents explores our biological imperfections with style, wit, and life-affirming insight.
