A good story but a little long-winded in parts. What a shame Bryce was not able to write the sequel - the epilogue brought tears to my eyes.

Oh my god! Incredible book. A lot of the biology and biochemistry stuff went over my head but I am so glad I stuck with it.

Third of 3 books that have left me feeling disgusted at the way we are misled when it comes to nutrition. Major changes are ahead in this kitchen pantry!

Great story but completely sickening to think these things actually happened. This should be compulsory reading for high school students.

I wondered how this sequel could live up to The Secret River, but WOW! A+. Breathtaking.

I hate that this book makes out drugs, foul language and adultery are a part of everyday life. It is also far too long; I found it difficult to get through.
