Recenzii
A highly original work, executed with complete conviction. Heart-warming, engaging and impossible to put down, it treats a challenging subject unflinchingly. Recommended reading.
A charming and eye-opening book. The accounts of hunting trips with her father contain vivid and quite moving nature writing.
A carefully balanced yet truthful and unpreachy book.
Beautifully written. Brave and personal.
This humane, adventurous and wonderfully illuminating exploration will entertain and challenge everyone, from carnivore to vegan.
Vivid, visceral and honest. Gray observes without ever being detached, and that's a rare talent.
Well paced, well researched and politically even-handed.
Compellingly readable, wise and kind. There's plenty of serious reflection too, all the more arresting for Gray's lightness of touch.
Superb. Brilliantly written and needed to be said.
A very personal, heartwarming book that carries you along like a good novel. The writer's dedication to her subject is inspiring and she totally throws herself into her research. Brave and ruthlessly honest, it will change the way you think.
The author more than earns her stripes... It's impossible not to admire her.
A fascinating insight... The book is neither preachy nor lacking in laughs. Gray writes with humour and humanity.
A thorough, engaging, sometimes shocking account of where our meat comes from. It is also, importantly, a book about caring.
This brave project by Louise Gray is told in beautiful, descriptive prose that shows her love and knowledge of nature.
[The book is] not a reflection on whether or not to become a vegetarian ... Gray believes we can eat meat ethically, going for quality ahead of quantity.
She writes well and this is a book that all should read - but it isn't simply a duty, it's a gritty pleasure.
Louise Gray is a micromaster.
This is a must read for anyone who wants to know more about where the meat and fish they eat comes from ... and the environmental and social impact.
This is a really important exploration of the meat industry, our relationship with meat and animals through history and offers an insight into what the future could hold - but it's also a good read that reads like you're talking to an old friend down the pub.
