A review by borrowedbooks
The Big Oyster: History on the Half Shell by Mark Kurlansky

informative medium-paced

3.0

The beginning of the book started much earlier than I thought it would, with pre-Dutch settlement, and I really liked that because it was one of my favorite sections. It's an interesting listen over all, but if you've read anything about humanity's interactions with a natural resource you know the outcome. This book does span a breadth of ethnic and socio-economic groups which is its strength.
