serenityfound's review against another edition
dark
funny
informative
slow-paced
3.0
It feels like the author is trying to be Mary Roach - with attempts at humor and such - but just does not succeed at it. There are also a number of curious references to "political correctness" that I can't determine the point (or POV) of. I do applaud him for staying largely away from criminal/MI-driven cannibalism in the 20th & 21st centuries out of respect for victim families, though.
Graphic: Animal death, Racism, Pandemic/Epidemic, Terminal illness, Xenophobia, Cannibalism, Medical content, Blood, Gore, Colonisation, and Death
Moderate: Murder, Vomit, Mental illness, and Excrement
