Bronwyn Wylie-Gibb of University Book Shop, Dunedin, reviews The Gospel of the Eels: Our Enduring Fascination with the Most Mysterious Creature in the Natural World by Patrik Svensson. Published by Pan Macmillan.

Haunting and tender exploration of the mysterious eel - and human attempts to grapple with the slippery fish. Like the eel in a dark stream, this book slides into and around your mind, glimpsed in silvery flashes, and lurks quietly.
