A little bit much as an audiobook - some of the grosser chapters were pretty rough going, and it's a lot harder to skim in an audiobook. I don't think I'm especially squeamish, but the chapter about grafting live puppy heads onto living dogs was making me sick, which isn't great for driving. That was one chapter of 12, though, and I love Mary Roach's style otherwise.
