review 1: I wasn't sure I needed to read Masson's The Face On Your Plate since I've read a few other books on related subjects but thought I'd give it a go since I'm partial to the author's easy going conversational style. What I found was one of his best books, one that is both conversational and insightful. I especially found the chapter on fish illuminating and full of info I did not know. In the end, this book was well worth the read and I'd recommend it to anyone who is serious about thinking about animals, who they are, and whether or not they have any place in the human diet.
review 2: After reading "Eating Animals" recently, it's difficult not to compare the two. I found parts of this book engaging, but felt some parts didn't make very concise points - the chapte... morer titled "Denial" in particular. It just didn't seem well written, whereas "Eating Animals" was, although I'm glad this book talked about veganism rather than just vegetarianism. I found the chapter on aquafarming very informative & that was probably the best part of the book. One thing that pissed me off was the spoiler on the plot of Kazuo Ishigo's "Never Let Me Go" - it was totally uncalled for. I have that book on my reading list & now I know the entire plot because of one sentence in this book! less
