This will take me a while, no doubt. I picked this up as a challenge to branch out in genre and subject, so far it has proven to be both. The dense and heavy content will slow me down, but I’m pushing through and enjoying it so far.

I’ve seen great reviews, but was hesitant to start such a long book as I thought there couldn’t possibly be much excitement (the main character is sentenced to house arrest from the start). However the story telling and characters are so far proving more interesting than i anticipated.

I’m usually not super into these types of books, but hear good things about this one. So far I’m enjoying the casual tone of the book with interesting psychological evidence to back up the claims the author makes.

I’m still not sure what this book is about or where it’s going. I curiously picked it out on the title alone and under the thought it was a biography. It is, sort of. It seems to be a slow moving series of moments the narrator elaborates on while on a trip. Something different, will continue on.

The tone of storytelling is casual and easy to digest. Most of the matter being life events, the concept of food appreciation finds its way to the front of each chapter.
