In Defense of Food Review
I didn't really like the book, "In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan. It is very boring, being more of an adventurous book kinda girl myself, and I didn't think even for the topic, it didn't need to go so deeply into food history and focus more on the present day. It repeated many things already written and it sometimes contradicted them. It also used many words that weren't needed. I try to be as open-minded as possible and I hate to give things bad reviews but it was just too much. It felt like the writer was just forcing all the information into you. It wasn't my kind of book, and some people might like it (if your the nutrition freak). The third part should've been the longest part, when in fact, it was the shortest.That are my thoughts on the book, anyway. <3

Emma, remember each post should be two fully developed paragraphs long. I appreciate that you give reasons for why you did not like In Defense of Food, and you are of course entitled to your opinion. I found your second sentence a bit confusing. Can you think of some ways to rework it?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I would like to see you engage more with the specifics of the book - where are there contradictions? What is repeated? How about an example of something being said in an unnecessarily complicated way?
