Really would have rated this 2.5 stars if I could have. I'm a sucker for a well-written literate thriller. This was advertised to be one of those books. It was not. The pros: I enjoyed the style of writing, the different viewpoints and timeframes. It was well-written insomuch as the words were in the right place and punctuation was correct. The cons: I did not give a hoot about any of the characters. They were all strange and odd ( and not in an interesting way odd) to me. The actions for most of the main characters were never explained, never even hinted at really. Why did Alice behave the way she did? Why were her parents the way they were? What did they really want or believe in? Ultimately I was really disappointed by this book.
This is a good book for beginning or long term vegans. Unfortunately, at first didn’t see the bee products which aren’t vegan, but I do have it on my vegan shelf anyway because it’s such a unique and fun read (one of those many cookbooks I can happily read from cover to cover), and the recipes are easy to prepare and not intimidating for beginner vegans & vegetarians. I must say also that even if you are not a vegan/vegetarian, I’d still recommend this book. It’s written by 2 Canadian women and it’s a very entertaining and informative read. It has some unique facts and enjoyable comments & pictures, and there are recipes for foods for animal companions, and also non-edible products made from food, such as household and personal care products. Vegans: please ignore & avoid the bee products. Gift from a good vegan friend, who's from Canada.
