There were a few grammatical errors, and I wish there was a complete set of end notes, but overall this book was fantastic. This is the kind of nonfiction I deeply enjoy: hard facts mixed with personal stories and a lively use of language. The range of coverage of the book is impressive - from cannibalism in animals to simply odd culinary practices to the amazingly variable forms of cannibalism throughout human history all over the world. Simply a documentation of early-20th century Amazonian and New Guinean cultural practices this is not. My reactions while reading this book ranged from laughing out loud to jaw-on-the-floor wonder. Highly recommended.
