Ends of the Earth (Bug Man #5)
By: Tim Downs

I know books about a 'Bug Man' don't really sound that interesting, and the first couple in the series don't seem very appealing in title or cover, but this series is a really good read!

It's basically like CSI or Bones but with 'bug' forensics instead (and just a one man show, not a team). It's actually pretty interesting. Not to mention it's pretty funny! And for me to say that means something- I hate when authors try too hard to be funny or use cliché humor. Downs has a really good handle on wit and sarcasm and writes in a natural way.

This story was more interesting than some of the others as I'm from a Midwest farming community; it was pretty relatable.

And I don't know if the science and all that is legit behind this plot, but if it is... then turns out it's actually pretty easy to cripple the American economy. And this tells you exactly how. So I'm gonna go ahead and assume it's more difficult than they let on. *fingers crossed*

Anyway- on to Bug Man #6! (which by the way- reading the summary for #6 essentially tells you what the mysterious and 'missing' bonus chapter would reveal about this book's cliffhanger)
