Review:

A charming and eye-opening book the Guardian The author more than earns her stripes... It's impossible not to admire her. The Evening Standard This humane, adventurous and wonderfully illuminating exploration will entertain and challenge everyone, from carnivore to vegan. -- Patrick Barkham Vivid, visceral and honest. Gray observes without ever being detached, and that's a rare talent. -- Ella Risbridger Compellingly readable, wise and kind. There's plenty of serious reflection too, all the more arresting for Gray's lightness of touch. -- Charles Foster A thorough, engaging, sometimes shocking account of where our meat comes from. It is also, importantly, a book about caring. -- Malachy Tallack Caught by the River Sensitive and powerful. Prospect Well paced, well researched and politically even-handed. Country Life Louise Gray is a micromaster. The Scotsman The book has charm and style... The accounts of hunting trips with her father contain some vivid and quite moving nature writing. the Guardian She writes well and this is a book that all should read - but it isn't simply a duty, it's a gritty pleasure. -- Mark Avery Fascinating... Told in beautiful, descriptive prose that shows her love and knowledge of nature. Western Mail This is a must read for anyone who wants to know more about where the meat and fish they eat comes from ... and the environmental and social impact. The Press and Journal A sensible read for meat-eaters who have ever wondered what it's like to stand in the business end of an abattoir. i This brave project by Louise Gray is told in beautiful, descriptive prose that shows her love and knowledge of nature. Sunday Post A fascinating insight... The book is neither preachy nor lacking in laughs. Gray writes with humour and humanity. Sunday Herald
