5.0
The line between what is informative fact and fiction is well balanced, and is a treat in this book as it is displays the super power and charm of Ozeki’s writing voice. The meld of documentation/research based structure via book format felt very natural and at times fantastical. Gripping. Would you expect a book on meat consumption to be so emotionally charged? Please do
