[ 5.0 stars ] "Mary Roach is one of my favorite science writers and I always buy her books and read them when they first come out.This book - Gulp - is all about the alimentary canal; that part of the body that begins at the point where food is consumed and ends where solid waste is expelled. Starting with taste and the mouth, she follows our digestive system all the way down. As with her other books, this one i ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "So starting a book about the alimentary canal, we are taken on a tour of what people consider palatable. It doesn't have much to do wih nutrition. For example, organ meats and byproducts have enough vitamins to prevent scurvy, but most people really do not care to eat them. Mary Roach has noted that "some degree of obsession is a requisite for good science, and certainly for scientific brea ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "'Laundry detergent is essentially a digestive tract in a box.' Now, where else but in a book written by Mary Roach, the author who loves wierd science, would we learn such a thing? I mean, it makes sense, but I have never seen anyone write those words. In her new book, 'Gulp' etc, Mary Roach takes us from the mouth to the anus, and all the by-ways in-between. It is one of the more ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "Digestive system of the human body is the link to a healthy body and healthy mind. Mary has been able to capture the working knowledge of the digestive system in a very simple language which is very informative especially if you happen to be a health freak. Nothing good in life is possible without a healthy body especially a healthy digestive system since that is where we get all our vitamins and ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "I have all of Ms. Roach's books, but this is not the best of them. She has an affinity for odd facts, strange research, and the quirky people who immerse their lives in things that most of us either don't think about, or don't want to think about. Her best books are fascinating and laugh-out-loud funny, but "Gulp" is only mildly interesting and passably amusing. The best chapter, in my ..." Courtesy by Amazon
