The Sexual Politics of Meat - 25th Anniversary Edition: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory by Carol J. Adams, Carol J. Adams
3.0
Finally finishing this book feels like a major accomplishment - because of the weight of the content, of course, but also because it reads with the impersonal coldness of a textbook. After over a month of slogging through this one, I'm definitely proud of myself for getting through it but disappointed that I can't imagine ever recommending it to anyone in my personal life who would ever be willing to attempt to tackle this beast for more than 30 pages.
The content of the book is technically spot-on and makes several great points and connections between those points, I'll give it that much. But personal enjoyment was limited only to the more recent additions of the prefaces and epilogue which gave me more of what I enjoy most in non-fiction: personal anecdotes and a bit of humor all written up in a more conversational tone that was easy to digest without having to backtrack and reread every paragraph three times each.
