My Year of Meats: A Novel Audiobook

" Hard to read at parts if you are a meat eater. Found the two women main characters very interesting and satisfying end for both. "

" Meat, husbands are bad. "

" This is a good book to read if you are curious about the meat industry, as well as simply being an interesting novel with good character development. It might tempt you to become a vegetarian! "

" I really considered becoming a vegetarian after I read this book, but I don't think my blood type will allow for it - I try to buy organic instead. "

" Great novel so far! "

" Just finished reading. Funny, funny beginning but what an emotional roller coaster at the end. Some parts are way too graphic for me but on the whole enjoyed the juxtaposition of the two cultures. Thanks, Dana! "

" Slow at first, but when it got rolling I could not put it down. Such a good read! "

" This book is incredibly funny while challenging traditional notions about American society-- from the structure of its families to the nature of our food production. 'My Year Of Meats' is a must read. "

" My new favorite writer! excellent parallel stories of a Japanese-American film maker and a Japanese housewife; explores Japan's fascination with all things American. "

" Fictional counterpart to The Omnivore's Dilemma. Entertaining, informative, endlessly readable. Everything you could want in a vacation read. "

" second reading... i read it last year when i first came to holland and am reading it again to relive that experience "

" had to read this for asian lit...really good book. not really about meat...but good representation of asian culture "

" I love this book. It changed the way I think of meat! I also loved the voice of the author. "

" It's a long time since I read this book (I've guessed the year), but I remember that I absolutely LOVED it. I should really dig it out and read it again. "

" I loved this book. It was very very funny. I found the second half of the book less entertaining and more serious, so I only gave it four stars....but still worth reading "

" A Very funny "

" Ok. 1990's version of The Jungle. Not great writing, but readable. "

" Didn't like the end...but enjoyed the first two-thirds of the book! "

" I could really relate to the main character. Very very well written. The theme of the story really drew me in. I highly recommend this book! "

" Don't be put off by the title...it's a good read. "

" I enjoyed this book. It was funny and different, but the information on the meat industry will definitely get you thinking about going organic or vegetarian. "

" While I liked the "story" part of this book I got a little tired of the anti-meat proselytizing with which this book is laced. I got the feeling the author was writing an expose of the meat industry and chose to wrap it in a novel for higher sales. "

" Just superb and completely original. Filled with quirky characters, humor, and insight. "

" I liked the different families that were featured in each episode - some really interesting characters. There were a few things about factory farming that I didn't already know about (hormone-related) that I saw for the first time in this story. "

" Very engaging story. I may never eat meat again. "

" This book was amazing and I couldn't put it down. "

" The title sucked me in - I"m hooked after the first 3 chapters. "

" Great read, although it sounds really strange. "

" I got to page 280 (of 360) and had to give up. That really hurts. The book starts out fun, but takes an unfortunate turn for the belabored, and by the end (or, more accurately, by page 280) it feels like a Michael Pollan book. "
