A review by stephaniesteen73
Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer

4.0

One of the hardest books I've ever read - incredibly disturbing. I literally had to put it down at points because it was just too overwhelming and visceral. I found myself reading the book while my internal monologue (meat lover) was railing against it. By the end the internal monologue was quieted....I honestly don't know whether anyone who has truly read this book can go back to their pre-book reading meat habits.

It only gets 4 stars because I did find the book, while well-written in parts, to be fairly disjointed. It does work, though, because I think the disjointedness to be akin to the author's (and my own) struggle in fits and starts.

Pick it up and I'd love to discuss it (and your vegetarian recipes).
