Although often interesting, the poor organization and writing detracted from this book's overall appeal and success. This ambitious volume reads like several books jammed together rather than the interweaving of several narratives. I'd have preferred to read it as perhaps 3 companion volumes intended for simultaneous or sequential reading. In addition to the writing issues, in too many places Pollan's lack of specialized knowledge or expertise lead him to make inaccurate, overgeneralized, or contradictory pronouncements.
