Hard to understand and no real content

Revisado: 01-12-25

Just a bunch of babble. No concrete info. Seems he just wants to talk about his life - but doesn’t seem to have accomplished much. Just a social media hack.

So Redundant and self-serving

Revisado: 10-18-24

He just lists the same anecdotal evidence over and over - same story, different person, different body part. He gives no credit that any ailment might actually have a medical basis. Very disappointed. The one good thing is that the narrator doing the reading was so boring that I listened to it each night to fall asleep because there was nothing new or interesting to hear. It’s hard to believe that the editors of this book did not recognize that and save this poor guy the embarrassment and maybe cut the book down by half and increase the actual hands-on resolution.

Well Done

Revisado: 07-06-24

I didn’t think I would like this, but it actually was really good. Similar to some other comments I don’t think her religious views help the position but it’s easy enough to ignore those if that’s not your thing. I didn’t know this was such an issue.

Great Read /reveals the truth

Revisado: 12-30-23

Yes, most of us know a lot of what he talks about. But seeing it put all together and reaffirming the motivations of big food, producers was interesting. It definitely makes me rethink my food choices. There were some production issues in the book that other people have mentioned regarding the interviews with the author’s brother that were hard to understand and not recorded very well. But other than that it’s a great book. I think the people that left negative reviews Are just upset that he is attacking the way they probably eat.

Good book - Poor reading performance

Revisado: 10-18-23

As usual - don’t let author read the book. Very choppy machine like delivery. You eventually get used to it but its annoying. Some good content - some poor advice.

Fantastic book

Revisado: 06-09-23

This really gives insight into the problems in our food supply system. I am 2 years now with no sugar and no processed food. I now cut up veggies every night and garnish with a side amount of wild fish or grass-fed beef. So yes, he was preaching a bit to the choir. But I feel it is important to continue to read/listen to his side of the story and reinforce the message. Because Big Food is continuing to inundate us with the opposite message. As some people have mentioned in their reviews - the book gets political. And many people don’t like that in a “health” book. Those people are missing the whole point. Much of our food problem originates or is exacerbated by our government and the exact regulatory agencies the government creates to supposedly protect us. So government is half the problem. We need to be educated on this so we can hopefully fight it. I did not interpret the book as Lustig trying to push his political views on us, as much as he was trying to inform us the problems that the government creates in our food supply system. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

No / So much wrong

Revisado: 10-31-22

I am confused by all the positive reviews. First of all, I don’t care for the writing style. It seems the author is trying to take a non-fiction book and turn it into a novel. The reason I read non-fiction is to avoid all the hyperbole - and this book is full if it. His frequent use alliteration Is annoying. It feels forced - as if “ oh look I know how to use this literary style I’ll put it in here“ for no real purpose. Similarly I don’t know why he has to use the Dutch word for something and then simply translate it to English. It adds nothing and the English word in many of the instances would work better.

This story speaks for itself, and it doesn’t need all of the flowery wording that he uses.

Now for the narrator - wow is he annoying. He may be doing his best due to the bad writing style. But he tries to be over-dramatic. Odd pauses and voice inflections are quite distracting.

So between the dramatic story itself, the author trying to make it more dramatic and then the narrator making it even worse - it’s exhausting to listen to.

Great account!

Revisado: 10-15-22

I have only read short summaries of this voyage before. so great to read a full account of this incredible adventure. I can’t wait next to read the books written by Cook and de Gerlach himself.
