'HILARIOUS' Daily Telegraph
'Brilliant' Frankie Boyle
Sometimes Sara Pascoe confuses herself. She gets wildly and pointlessly jealous. She spends too much time hating her bum. And you know what she hates more than her bum? Her preoccupation with her bum. She's had sexual experiences with boys she wasn't really into, but still got a post-coital crush on them. She's ruined brand-new relationships by immediately imagining them going into reverse.
There was so much about her behaviour that Pascoe wanted to understand. So she started researching what makes us - women - tick. And what she read made her eyes fall out of her face. Reader, here is everything science has to tell us about love, sexuality, infidelity, boobs, periods, pubes, broodiness, and clever old fat. Merry Christmas and Hallelujah! Suddenly being a woman doesn't look like such a minefield after all.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
British stand-up comedian Sara Pascoe has done a great thing here. She’s written a book that is at once hilarious, proudly feminist and scientifically gripping. And thanks to Pascoe’s warm and witty voice, Animal is the sort of book you’ll want to curl up with before recommending it to everyone—particularly young women. It discusses the female body in gloriously candid detail, using engaging personal anecdotes and carefully debunking evolutionary myths. It’s the sort of sex education that we wish we’d had at school.
