Book Reviews of The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
Book Review: Informative and Entertaining
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was very well written. Before starting, I was worried that it would be a rather dry read (after all, how much can you say about food?). Well, apparently there is an awful lot to say about food, and Pollan does a great job at making it interesting. He brings to light some of the problems with industrial agriculture that I just never knew existed. He doesn't just present problems is this book however. He also talks about some ways to help make things better. The one thing I did not like was when he had wine while hunting. However, this has nothing to do with the book's readability.
I reccomend this book because I'm not a food fanatic and I found this book interesting.
