I’m sorry that I paid full price for this book. The writing was wonderful: by turns funny and touching, as was the author’s clear concern for the individuals who assist his under-cover endeavors. The problem is, it’s a very short book—not in page numbers but in the vast number of pages one quickly flips through—and there’s very little actually about the groceries on our shelves, except for the stomach-turning description of one Whole Foods’ fish department cleaning that you’ve probably read in reviews. However, at the very end of the book, not the chapter, we’re advised that the store in question has completely corrected that situation. One store, one situation, fixed. Why attempt to ruin a store’s reputation needlessly? I didn’t learn anything new. I didn’t waste my time, because I did enjoy his writing, but I definitely wasted my money.
