The Drunken Botanist- The Plants That Create The World's Great Drinks (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
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.
