There were so many interesting facts in here, a sprinkling of practical tips, and a nice overview of where current research is now and headed in the future.

Detracting from all this are some real problems and annoyances. Maybe the translator or editor should share some of the blame.
She over-uses confusing analogies and metaphors— which attempt to simplify, but instead add so many extra variables. Most of them are not even needed.
There are no references to papers or articles for many of the claims she makes. Sometimes she makes a claims that have seemingly no source. You can't tell when it's her hunch or when there's science behind it.
By part three, I was burned out and thoroughly aggravated by the stupid jokes. There are a lot of them and all of them are truly terrible.

With a professional editor, this could be a five star book.

Enjoyable read about the detail of the gut. Good to keep as a reference and full of interesting stuff. A real feast of information!

Great survey of the world inside with nice gross bits about poo, spit, microbes and parasites. I learned quite a few new practical ideas even though the information is a bit on the general side. Definite good read for anyone with gut related problems, even if they should not expect a medical text, more perspective and curiousity.

Inquiring minds want to know. First, there was Our Bodies, Ourselves. Then there was The Joy of Sex. And now, to add to the list of books that better explain the bodies we inhabit, we have Gut. It turns out our gastrointestinal tracts are a good deal more interesting and clever than one would expect, and they play a commanding role in everything from our immune response to our state of mind and feeling of well-being. This volume will be enjoyed by a larger audience than just pre-pubescent boys who revel in bathroom humor (although it does contain more than a few good laughs).… (lisätietoja)
