This reads like a bad syfy channel original, and I just can't quit it.

One of the most fascinating nonfiction books I have ever read. Easily.

A good chunk of this book is just Robert Heinlein waxing poetics about using force as a means to an end. It's like a lecture with intermittent scifi.

I've had this paperback copy of this book in my "to read" stack for 21 years. That's quite a long time. Finally getting around to it.

Perfect book for Halloween if you're afraid of what may or may not be in your food.

I laughed out loud twice already.

This book jumped the shark. I don't know what happened, but Ian Fleming has been replaced by a writer more attuned to spaghetti-snapping, cheesy mobsters of 1930s cinema.

This book is so good, it's criminal.

So...So good. Fleming is in absolute top form with this one.

I'm not joking when I say I feel like this is the male equivalent of 'Twilight'.

This is a fairly in-depth look at the individual ingredients we use in processed foods on a daily basis, exploring where they come from and how they're made. No fear-mongering. No cheerleading either. Just the process (with an added lame sense of humor).

There's an eloquent feel to the prose that I really appreciate in this book. So far, an interesting possibility of the future.

Bond certainly shrugs a lot.

So far a mixed bag of overt paranoia blended with an interesting mix of frightening news articles.

I think I'm several decades too far removed for the big "reveal" on this one. I know it's coming. It's just trudging that's got me hung up.

It's like a more drawn-out Casino Royale at this point. Another card game.
