I like the concept of the book, but I wish it made its point clear more consistently. It’s about the idea that size is relative and how something that may seem small to a person could seem huge to an insect. It tries to draw relative comparisons, such as pointing out that some fleas can jump up to 100 times their own height, and then declaring that would be like you being able to jump to the top of the Eiffel Tower. But then it says that the Eiffel Tower is 1063 feet tall, and since I don’t know any 10-foot tall people, that comparison doesn’t compute. And the comparison to “If your foot could grow as fast as a caterpillar can…” comes out as a bit awkward, because it’s not comparing to how a caterpillar’s foot grows, but the whole caterpillar, but for the person it’s got the foot growing independently of the rest of the human. It’s just a bit clunky.
