The book started out just fine with details of how coffee was found, the art of brewing perfected and goes on to describe the way it had affected lives of everyone.

The premise is an intriguing subject, but the dry TMI way of delivery, political correctness syndrome that the author seem to suffer from and the expectation I had going in ruined it all for me. I stopped this book half-way Perhaps if I were more familar with the coffee brands that the author talked about, these businesses' nitty gritty details of business competition, or if I were in coffee business, I would have probably appreciated it more (Though it won't make up for the fact that it's such a dry read)
