About book The Drunken Botanist- The Plants That Create The World's Great Drinks (2013)
AudiobookI really liked the idea of this book. Seemed neat to learn about alcohols roots from plants (pun intended?).I was hoping this would be more story-like, but it reads more like a textbook. It is pretty repetitive; you get the history, recipes, and tips.There are times in which it gets very technical, and I just didn't care for such specific information.I have learned some interesting things, but to be honest, I didn't exactly memorize it.It is written well. Let me begin by saying that the concept is very interesting: All the plants that have been used to make very interesting drinks. Also, I would have enjoyed this book better if I had been reading it, not listening to it while driving. It was a fascinating idea and I loved the recipes. I just wish it had included a few more stories and a bit less encyclopedia-isness. I couldn't quite make it through.
