Title: The basics of writing a book...
Review: ...knowing the definition of a word you use in your title would be a start! The author of this book states at the beginning that some Thai people choose to eat fish because the fish are "stupid enough to swim into a net and get caught." This is completely offensive to any true vegetarian who orders a cookbook that is supposed to be based on a peaceful diet. If a human is murderous and violent enough to set a trap in the first place, yeah, they might kill a fish, but who is the "stupid" one here? I can't help but feel the need to rebut such a ridiculous statement. Should a fish not swim in its natural habitat? Should all creatures surrender their homes to the human animals? Pretty soon bats will be peeking around corners, wondering if it's safe to even fly; there might be nets, after all...Excuse my disgust, but I sure hope this is the last supposedly-vegetarian-yet-includes-sealife cookbook I ever buy.
Is the review positive or negative?
