Author"s excuse for a new food scare?
Reviewed: 06-26-20
The author breaks down the hysteria around gluten and other maligned foodstuffs such as salt, with good arguments, but then serves up his own hysteria surrounding plastic and aluminium in the last chapter. Disappointing.

Story
Follow New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach - but be careful not to trip - as she weaves through personal anecdotes and everyday musings riddled with her uncanny wit and amazingly analytical eye. These essays, which found a well-deserved home within the pages of Reader"s Digest as the column "My Planet," detail the inner workings of hypochondriacs, hoarders, and compulsive cheapskates. (Did we mention neurotic interior designers and professional list makers?) For Roach, humor is hidden in the most unlikely places, which means that nothing is off limits.

Story
David Mitchell, who you may know for his inappropriate anger on every TV panel show except Never Mind the Buzzcocks, his look of permanent discomfort on C4 sex comedy Peep Show, his online commenter-baiting in The Observer or just for wearing a stick-on moustache in That Mitchell and Webb Look, has written a book about his life.

A must for fans of British comedy and wonderful how his voice softens when he finds love, in the end.

Story
Mike Daisey worked at Amazon.com for nearly two years during the dot-com frenzy of the late nineties. Now that his nondisclosure agreement has expired, he can tell the real story - one that blends tech culture, hero worship, cat litter, Albanian economics, and venture capitalism into a surreal cocktail of delusion.

Can"t stand the negativity
Reviewed: 12-19-11
Would you try another book from Mike Daisey and/or Mike Daisey?
No.
Would you recommend 21 Dog Years to your friends? Why or why not?
No.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
I liked the honesty and humor, but they couldn"t keep me interested to hear this story out. About halfway through, I gave up because of the negativity, smugness - he"s so proud to be a slacker and petty thief - and naivete of someone who doesn"t expect colleagues to do their job and companies to act as corporations.
