review 1: Well done interesting story that is billed as fiction tho I think it's a memoir. Cant blame the author if he's trying to protect himself. I love to hear the behind the scenes of important issues presented in a 'entertaining' way. What the corporations and government like to release upon a generally ignorant public continues to be appalling. Well worth reading this book, even if only for 'fiction'.
review 2: David Leveraux is a young flavorist who gets first job in the early 70's testing Sweetness #9 on lab rats, but the rats don't get cancer, they get obese, lazy, and a general dissatisfaction with life, but he reports his concerns he is let go. Several years later the Nine is the top sweetner in America but his wife becomes fat, his son has stopped using verb
... mores, and his daughter has a general dissatisfaction with life. Is it the sweetner or just the American condition? A good satirical novel that makes one think do we truely have control over our lives or are we what eat? less

This started as a five for me and then dwindled a bit. Still a funny and good read.

I'll be honest, I didn't finish it, it really didn't capture my attention enough.

I agree with Katie. Bogged down in the second half
