review 1: I enjoyed this book and certain points I really had to agree with the author on. At times the narrative was a bit meandering but still interesting. I enjoyed the descriptions of cheese at the end of each chapter and appreciated the comparisons, as I am fairly new to artisan cheeses. This book was informative in an easy to read way without overwhelming you in facts. However, I do wish the author went into a bit more detail in some places. As a person who works retail, I definitely agree with his idea that retail can be the first line of social services. Even in retail it is so important to pay attention and really listen to customers. You never know what someone's going through and you may be on of the only people who treats them as a human being.
review 2: I ... moreloved Gordon Edgar's personal cheese memoirs, my favorite parts of the book. I was excited to read my local cheesemonger's own book, especially with our shared NorCal punk rock past. It was an entertaining, meandering narrative with lots of loosely connected tangents. Overall a fun read; had me at times both drooling, and laughing out loud. I learned a lot about cheese, and I kept a list of cheeses to try while reading it. less
