Great! Suitably disgusting and crammed full of facts. There were quite a lot of facts that I already knew but enough that I didn’t to keep this interesting and relevant. My only query was what age the book is pitched at because it is guilty sometimes of over explaining which made me feel very much like I’d accidentally encroached into a book for children, but then occasionally it used terminology or language it didn’t feel the need to explain which would definitely be over the heads of younger children. Also I did worry, in a factual book, about joking that ancients were having cornflakes for breakfast, even in a jokey way. If a book is factual, which this mostly did very well, then keep facts throughout as it’s too confusing.
Loved the delightfully yucky content though and even the cheese ridden jokes to lighten things up, very strategically placed and elicited a few groans.
