Eat My Globe

Eat My Globe: One Year to Go Everywhere and Eat Everything by Simon Majumdar

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is far more a travelogue than a food book, despite the title. For a book that purports to be a food book it really has remarkably little about the food. While it lists the dishes the author tasted and his reactions to them, the descriptions are too bland and repetitive to help me imagine what the food might really be like. In addition, the writing is distressingly poor, especially considering that the author left a publishing job to research and write the book. He and his editors should be ashamed of themselves. Nevertheless, the book has some entertaining qualities and if you read it not for its informational content but only as a way to pass an entertaining few hours, it does pass the time successfully.
