Summary of Patrik Svensson's The Book of Eels

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The birth of the eel occurs in a region of the northwest Atlantic Ocean called the Sargasso Sea, which is suitable for the creation of eels. The Sargasso Sea is a sea within a sea, and it is surrounded by four ocean currents. #2 The yellow eel is a fish that can migrate thousands of miles. It is a solitary creature that lives out the active phase of its life alone, and when the temperature drops, it can lie motionless in the mud for long periods.
It is a nocturnal hunter that eats whatever it can find. #3 The life of an eel is a long one, and they can live for up to fifty years in one place. They will suddenly decide to reproduce, and their tranquil existence will end abruptly. They will make their way back to the sea and die.
