People are giving this 4 or 5 stars. Seriously? It's like a gourmet cheeseburger, except, of course, it's a cheeseburger.
Yeah well, cheeseburgers can be great. Even, theoretically, five-star great. But this one? The meat is stale and cold, the cheese is un-melted American slice, the bun is soggy.
In spite of the indigestion, I went back again for the seconds. Y'know, sometimes it just sat on the shelf too long. Maybe the chef - a beginner, I thought - just had to get up to speed.... I believe I abandoned that second book after just a couple bites.
