Please try again later. This is a Reading Good Books review. I honestly don't know what to make of it.
I enjoyed it, yes. I breezed through it; it was a very enjoyable read. But I'm not really sure what the author wants to say. Is this a cautionary tale about soy? Is this book anti-genetically modified food? Or is it a metaphor for some other food or vice?
The story was easy enough to understand. As the title says -- sex, lies, and the soybean industry. Manipulation is the name of the game. The Blackburn family manipulated by a group of people whose ulterior motive was to persuade Victoria to vote in favor of the Soy Bill. Food manipulated by technology. William manipulated with the use of sex. It was a little bit cliche, come to think of it.
But Goeld's writing is very good. I could not stop, I had to know what happened next. The parts where the bad effects of too much soy were displayed were interesting. A little bit creepy even.
The image "new technology" was great as well. It's not far from reality, now that RFID tags are available. It's like as we progress, our world becomes smaller and smaller. I imagined if this happened in real life, I would feel very boxed in, like I'm being watched or something.
Overall, it was really entertaining. Very well-written and the characters are all interesting. I think I need a reread in order for me to understand it further. Yeah, I'll definitely give this another go. Help us improve our Author Pages by updating your bibliography and submitting a new or current image and biography.
