‘Foie Gras Wars’: A real page-turner

Time to think about summer reading, and rifling through a pile of books I’ve been dipping into, I just came across ‘The Foie Gras Wars’ by Chicago Tribune reporter Mark Caro.
I can’t believe I ever put the book down. Admittedly, the topic sounds like hard going, but this is so well-written and so balanced in its treatment that it is, improbably, a real page turner. It has everything: fascinating characters, devious deeds, wit, suspense, science.
Guaranteed, you’ll think and think hard before you take that next bite of foie.
