Title: Salt was better
Product review: Not a compelling read. Believe it or not, I thought Kurlansky's Salt was a page turner. And although Cod is interesting, I don't find myself rushing back to read the next chapter. That assessment may change, of course, as I've only read a few chapters so far. But if you read any food book, let it be Salt.Update: I just couldn't finish this one. It's been weeks and I have only two short chapters left, about twenty pages or so, but I'm going to abandon this for the Wreck of the Medusa: maritime catastrophes, mutiny, murder, cannibalism, spectacular failures in leadership -- it ought to be more engaging than this snooze fest. I can hardly believe the same guy spat out Cod and Salt. The James Beard Foundation should have waited for Salt before handing out their award.
