Editorial reviews
For any foodie or trivia junkie looking for some delicious and light fare Lobsters Scream When You Boil Them entertains while it informs, clearing the air on many facts and tips that people tend to spout off when talking about food or cooking. Using cooking science, chemistry, and tested methods to dispel myths like the need to serve butter at room temperature or hot foods cooling body temperature, Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarborough keep an amusing tone while providing interesting and useful information and recipes. John McLain’s delivery will have you digging in, as his deep voice lends the air of an instruction manual while emphasizing the fun, sometimes sarcastic tone that attacks these myths, often based on nothing more than hearsay.

Story
High in calories and cholesterol, animal fats and proteins too often leave you hungry and lead to overeating and weight gain. They are often the root causes of a host of avoidable health problems - from indigestion, ulcers, and constipation to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. On the other hand, complex carbohydrates like whole grains, legumes, tubers, and other starches provide your body with essential proteins and nutrients that satisfy the appetite while simultaneously fighting illness.

Fast paced debunking + 1 cup of humor
This book leads us on a fast paced debunking of the top 100 food myths. This is a great resource to hand to your spouse or significant other who knows nothing about cooking and say -- "see, now be quiet. The things I have been telling you are now in print." For an experienced cook, 95 of the 100 are already known but you may not know the exact reasons. Only a few are in the huh range.
The narration is a solid but slow in 1X speed. I listened to it in 3X speed and got through the entire book in a couple of hours. This is easily done. I wasn't interested in the recipes just the myths.
This book appeals to both the experienced home cook all the way to the neophyte. Professionals should skip it as all of what is in this book you already know. As long as you listen at a higher speed, it is definitely worth the listen.

Great content, but bad delivery
Would you consider the audio edition of Lobsters Scream When You Boil Them to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version, but I imagine it would be a lot more enjoyable.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of John McLain?
Anyone else. Well, except for Gilbert Gottfied, Hillary Clinton or Fran Drescher.
Any additional comments?
Narrator John McLain's delivery is slow, low, gravely, and full of an unnecessary snarky tone when he speaks. So weird and distracting sounding. And...he has an annoying tendency to go down in his voice during most of the phrasing and at the end the sentences he speaks. Reading a fun cooking & science book calls for a clear, authoritative, and ultimately fun voice. McLain does not fit at all on here.
I looked elsewhere on Audible for McLain's other books, and WOW! He's narrated dozens of others. He may be a good fit for some other styles, but definitely not this.
NOTE: Listening to this book at a faster speed (1.25x to 1.5x) does help a bit.
