Eye opening and revealing facts regarding the food industry and how they are able to adulterate our foods. Sad and scary facts on what we are eating and what we have become as a society of obese with chronic ailments. This can give you good insight on how that's happened and how to avoid the foods discussed. Interesting from a scientific standpoint add a star if you are a food technologist or chemist.

William, Alfred, and General Motors. Another historic snapshot of how the automobile changed America. The fortitude of Americans was keenly defined by everyday auto pioneers like the main character.

Historical accuracy and sidebars that make it interesting. Did you know that the Smithsonian has this car on display at the Museum of American History on the mall? That should give relevance to the significance of this journey.

Yes

Literally changes in the storyline occur with every turn of the wheel. Something that was hard to do then and would go unoticed if done today. Read it for the sake of learning about the culture of those times and enjoy the sense of accomplishment made by the main character.

Only if he were either a chef or suffering from a chronic disease and needed encouragement

The main character's humility

The main character

Come and get it before it's gone...

Fairly good feel good book that they should have spent more time on choosing a name...

Yes. It presented some interesting perspectives of how other's think and perceive.

No since this one did not capture my attention as much as I expected. I like a book to knock my socks off. This one did not albeit interesting it only unlaced my shoe.

Back alley patronizing

If it was marketed better

Some of us want to balance life by checking to see if we are deluding ourselves. This book tried to persuade me but I resisted. Interesting but somewhat tongue-in-cheek theories.

Insight into introverts

Read in the first person

No specific one

Of the quiet; what it tells us

Informative insight to thought processes of introverts. Comparisons and contrasts to extroverts. Revealing interesting hypothesis.

If you like Chicago history then this is for you. Otherwise its just names and dull events

What genre is it?

No

The author

Skip this one if you seek entertainment

More substance of useful ideas and less data. Lay people need it simplified.

The unexciting delivery

wasn't any

Disappointment

Read it only if into to alternative methods of psychological practice

There is no central character

Her sidebars and infelctions to better illustrate passages

Nothing extreme that required medical treatment. It's a good hisotrical book for gastronomes

The author's stories about his mother

Jaque Pepin; He was the subject of the book

Inflections and correct pornunciation of French terms

Laugh many times

Felt as if I was watching the activity. Well written.

Can't think of anyone who cares for tidbits of bios

Not enough bio information on the subjects

Easy listening
