this guy, Jon, has read Shiguro Takada's Contingency Cannibalism, and attempted to capture the flavor of a much better, more clever book. He tried to avoid the same topics while attempting to imitate Shig's flip attitude, and that left a huge vacancy in this topic.

The author amazingly manages to be neither funny or informative. I would rather have thrown the money out of the window of a moving car. That would be far more entertaining.

This is a great buy for anyone with unusual tastes and a good sense of humor. The only problem is that there are not enough recipes. The recipes that it does have,though, were quite good. Especially the Plumber Rump Roast Under Glass.

Not for people who like to chuckle at Reader's Digest anecdotes - this book has the rough edge humor needs today. I can already think of 4 or 5 of my sick (and I mean that in the nicest possible way) friends I will buy this book for this holiday.

Perhaps if you are into redundant jokes about Mike Tyson and Jefferey Dahmer you'll find this book witty. The author obviously wrote this book for that average American audience of 12 year olds. This book is really terrible.

There are SOME cannibals out there, we know there are. We're sure they've very evil and sick. So along comes this book which is just hilarious, seemingly serious in relating true cannibal facts while taking shots at Shaquille's foul shooting and the teeth of your average Brit. Also rips fat people and appreciates them at the same time.

You can get a chuckle out of 90% of people (including me) with almost any joke. If you find yourself in the other 10% sometimes, you will love this book. Acceptably glitzy yet over the edge, this is gonna be a classic.

This book will make you laugh - only for the wrong reasons. You will laugh when it occurs to you that this book is even around. I am so mad that I wasted money on this trash. Don't make the same mistake.

A hysterical read! Perfect for the meat-eating joker in your family come holiday time.

A funny take on the whole "Hannibal" craze. Mr. Macks wrote just the kind of book Dr. Lecter would have loved: laden with double meanings, grimmly hilarious and chock full of fava beans.

As a former cannibal myself, I found Mr. Macks' book insightful, witty and utterly accurate. (While I am not personally a fan of the Fine Young Cannibals, they do provide a certain legitimacy to our otherwise much-mocked lifestyle choice.) Perhaps this can get the ball rolling on our petition to be a protected class under that one amendment. Kudos to Mr. Macks for a book certain to go down with "Alive" as a carnivorous classic. To those who cannot see the genius of Mr. Macks beautiful prose, eat your hearts out. (Really, I mean it.)

P.S. The book is much funnier than this review. Bust into the piggy bank for this one, kids.
