Also I am a 3rd year microbiology student so I should be fairly knowledgeable on this books subject.

When I'm reading about the different stages parasites go through and so on I want to see it - I want to see the flukes pouring from the toad and all that. And I want books that visitors will ohh and ahh (and eww) over, books that will last for years and that my kids will stumble across a decade from now and show to their fascinated and horrified friends... Pretty pretty please, do tell your publisher!! Carl,

No convincing needed on my side to buy the book, especially after reading your glowing first review. I really hope it ends up being a bestseller for you!
