A bit long-winded in some areas, but overall this book was a great introduction to the Slow Food concept.

I really agree with the concepts of the Slow Food Movement, but I'm afraid this book really doesn't sell it! The tone comes across as simultaneously snobbish and condescending, all the while making relatively obvious points. Maybe it's because I'm already mostly au fait with the things he was talking about, and also because the book is several years old, and therefore its ideas have had longer to defuse. But still, I thought it felt rather unnecessary and boring...
