Title: More Fun Than Eating Celery (But Only Just)
Review: Perhaps it's not fair to review a book before i've finished it. Then again, I doubt if I _will_ finish it. 20 pages into the lengthy (it takes up over a 1/3 of the book) and turgid introduction, I skipped ahead to the first chapter. I can sum up the first 20 pages of that as:"'fat' is old English for 'vat', and Shakespeare used the word 'fat' a lot".There may be the bare bones of an interesting anthropology pamplet here, but it's so wrapped up in dead repetitive prose I found it indigestible.
Is the review positive or negative?
