Vitamins are tiny things - she explores them both on that level, and on a global, historical one. She is an excellent storyteller, humorous when appropriate to the narrative, and retains an eye for the big picture. The author was smart to start with history, because by grounding this book in the past, she is able to present much more than just a run-down of scientific studies and facts, which would be pretty dry on their own. For that alone, I would consider it a job well done, but I found this book full of many other fascinating explorations as well. For some reason, the word "vitamin" caused red flags to go up in my mind, and interestingly enough, by the time I finished reading, the book actually helped me to establish a better understanding of *why* that word can have that effect on me and many others. When I first read the description for this book, I had mixed expectations. |
