Cannibalism

An interesting look into the topic of cannibalism. From the animal kingdom to the various human examples of cannibalism, Schutt delivers an interesting, quick-witted look into the history of the consumption of same-species flesh.
While I picked up this book to learn more about human examples, I was surprised to learn more about the different animal species, including spiders, dinosaurs, and fish. I enjoyed the interesting new perspective into the events of the Donner party, which I had never known.

However, about three-fourths into the book, after talking about cannibalism for so long, the book delved into less interesting stories and struggled to hold my attention. For this, I rated the book 3 out of 5 stars: interesting topic, funny/inviting writing, new information, yet, a little bit too long and dry near the end.
