Too much Cod...Review created: 10/02/07
by:
This book was pretty boring (unless you are REALLY interested in Cod fish)...
Pros: It's pretty short, and light...
Cons: Just about everything. Basically all about catching cod, eating cod, cooking cod, having cod, regulations on cod, life span of cod, size of cod, populations of cod, impact of cod, post-cod etc etc etc. If I never see the word "cod" again, it will be too soon (and I just had to type it a dozen times)... I had to read it for a history seminar class on food.
Not the type of book to read "for fun"... Not even the kind of book to read when assigned, you should just skim. Read the titles and subheadings of each chapter and you can get the whole drift of the book in 10 mins.

Interesting book!Review created: 09/19/07

I found it interesting how a simple fish can weave its way into the lives of people and affect how they live and prosper or don't. If you enjoy finding how things can connect at seemingly small levels and obscure history you would otherwise not know then read this book!

Boring2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
One of the worst written books I have read in 2 years. The story: for hundreds of years there were a lot of people catching and eating cod, but then they were overfished and there are no longer giant stocks of cod. Now you have no reason to get this book, as the author does not add much to that sentence - but drags it out. A bunch of relatively unrelated fish facts and boring details of random fish stories - but no storytelling ability is present. Dull and repetitive.
