Summary: Tasty little book!
Comment: Okay, let me get the puns out of the way. This is a "tongue in cheek" book in which the author "eats his heart out" about a taboo topic, yet still gets to the "meat" of the matter. The gallows humor can be annoying at times, and can be a matter of "taste" (all right, I'll stop), but it does deal with something that we'd rather not think about (yet may have to deal with in a worst-case scenario). I'm certain that the author had very good intentions in writing this book...but I can just imagine the jokes he must get ("Hey Shiguro, gonna barbeque this weekend?")

Summary: All tongue in cheek
Comment: This book is a mostly "tongue in cheek" look at the world of cannibalism for survival. While it is darkly humorous, It's rough and raw and covers topics like "Does it taste like chicken?, What will my friends think? etc...

Shiguro also takes a look at cases where cannibalism actually occured, such as the ill-fated Donner party, the stranded Uruguayan rugby team and several other case histories.

While meant totally as a humorous book, it has some serious undertones.

Rating: 1
Summary: Don't Eat Me...wait...
Comment: The author obviously experienced severe trauma as a child, because this is one of the most disturbing subjects I have ever had the misfortune to read.
