‘[Enders] is utterly, charmingly obsessed with the gut, gut
bacteria and poo. She writes and talks about her subject matter
with such childlike enthusiasm it's infectious … The perfect toilet
book.’
*Guardian*
‘[Gut] had me laughing aloud.’
*New Scientist*
‘This book was a revelation; I couldn’t stop reading.’
*The Saturday Age*
‘A publishing sensation that … sets out to free toilet talk from
its taboo’
*The Times*
‘Both funny and informative, a brilliant examination of one of our
most complex — and underappreciated — organs.’
*The Observer*
‘Enders’ gut manifesto calls on its readers to celebrate their
lower bodies’ achievements, rather than apologise for them.’
*Guardian*
‘Giulia Enders has a warm and simple prose style and her sister’s
illustrations are delightful.’
*Spectator*
‘Giulia Enders takes a no-nonsense approach to bodily functions …
[Gut] reads like a breeze … you can totally see why it's been
massive.'
*Grazia*
‘[Enders is] a publishing sensation … There is something compelling
and refreshing about her curiosity and popular approach.‘
*Independent*
‘A primer on poo … Enders offers nuggets of wisdom on everything
from the ideal position in which to evacuate your bowels to the
science of fæces identification … There are some fascinating
insights here … Food for thought.’
*Independent on Sunday*
‘This book is brilliant: it’s so interesting about this massive,
underrated organ we have. But it also asks fantastic questions
about how the gut is linked to all sorts of things – not just
allergies and sensitivities, but possible mental health. The
thought that what we eat might affect our brains feels so
astoundingly simple. And it’s a really fun read too.’
*The Observer*
‘The revelation that each of us depends on our individual living
world, with far more inhabitants than there are people on earth, is
surely sensational.’
*Financial Times*
‘The world’s most surprising page-turner.’
*The Times*
‘Enders, a German research microbiologist, obviously adores her
subject matter … [her] project is to show how those essential
functions of the human body that some people may consider unseemly
or unspeakable are in fact wondrous and worthy of exultation.’
*Weekend Australian*
‘The best book I’ve read in the past year is Gut by Giulia Enders.
It explains all one needs to know about the digestive cycle in
order to lead a healthier and happier life.’
*Financial Times*
‘Gut has more to offer than potty-language and a sense of humor …
It’s hard not to be awed by Enders’ vast knowledge of anatomy and
microbiology and share her fascination with the 100 trillion tiny
creatures in our tummies.’
*Beauty and Wellbeing*
‘An amazing romp down our alimentary canal.’
*New Scientist ‘Best Books of 2015’*
‘A quirky tour of the gastro-intestinal tract.’
*Sunday Herald*
‘Gut caused a floodlight to turn on my head … From this
realisation, I developed my interest in fermented foods and
drinks.’
*Wondergut*
‘The title covers the entire digestive tract-from the mouth and
tonsils to the esophagus to the small and large intestine,
humorously lauding the elegance of the bowels. Along the way, the
author covers myriad topics: the proper way to sit on a toilet,
vomiting, constipation, feces facts, and the influence the gut has
on the brain … a conversational approach to learning about the
digestive system.’
*Library Journal*
‘Enders’s wonder at the strange ways of the gut is matched only by
her incredulity at the limited public knowledge on the
subject.’
*The New York Times*
‘With a great sense of humour and ample enthusiasm, Enders explains
everything readers did and didn’t want to know about their innards
… this book defies boring.’
*Publishers Weekly*
‘This primer is everything you ever wanted to know about the gut
(and then some), chattily and accessibly written in a uniquely
Millennial and matter of fact way. An unexpected page turner … Her
excitement about the subject matter is infectious. The fun yet
informative black and white drawings throughout are her sister’s
handiwork. Refreshingly devoid of recipes, or any self help-y
language.’
*Self Magazine*
[A] truly bottoms-up approach to our digestive health, smoothly
moving us through the inner workings of our gastrointestinal
tract.
*Dr Anish Sheth, author of What’s Your Poo Telling
You*
‘Gut's probe into the human digestive system might be seen as an
earnest younger sibling to Gulp, Mary Roach’s 2013 investigation
into the same subject. The comparison isn’t meant as a slight;
Enders swaps out Roach’s knowing wryness with a kind of puplike
enthusiasm for the complex mechanisms that convert food into a
body’s energy and waste without our even thinking about it.’
*The National Post*
‘Giulia Enders takes a deep dive into the fascinating connection
between the gut and brain … a must read.’
*Press Association*
