review 1: The title and subtitle (and cover art) lead you to believe that this book will be about how addicted Americans are to sugar, the general dangers of consuming sugar, and how to overcome sugar addiction. Right? But it's really one guy's memoir of his struggle with diabetes along with his internal conflicts with his father. O'Connell is definitely a talented writer. I think maybe the marketing department at his publishing house didn't read it all the way through.
review 2: The book was a big surprise to me, lot of people says the book is more a novel of the author instead of the main protagonist "sugar". I really liked the book because I emphasize with the author, I have made the same questions since I was a kid, like why some people are fat , diabetes, heart d... moreisease, etc. There were some information I had no idea about it until read it from this book, if you are into why America is the fattest country, you will find it on here, why it is mortal if we keep consuming it. In the other hand you won't find deep investigation about why we love sugar, because that answer is to fill emptiness of our mind not our stomach, could be good a second part explaining that topic. less
