Tasty Reviews of 'You Are Who You Eat'

"I have never found cannibal humor to be laugh-out-loud funny until I found this particular book. It's up there with the best of them, and deserves to be enshrined in the 'annals of ha-ha'... Author Ina Hillebrandt is a comic genius, and the combination of her writing and Dedini's cartoon style make for a unique and very funny ode to cannibal cuisine. Love it!"

When Does The Accompanying Cookbook Come Out??!!

Having been on a Paleo-type eating regimen for over a year, I took it home from a book fair hoping to jump start another weight-loss cycle. I had stopped losing weight and, actually, was beginning to put some pounds back on. You Are Who You Eat was a quick and hilarious read, a real surprise, a page-turner I couldn't put down for the entire ninety minutes. When the last page flew by, I was spent and my hangnails neatly bitten down to the quick. Nothing had ever tasted so good. Of course, I fell in lust with the illustrator Dedini who had tempted me with his exotic book cover and his overall glib charm. The old saying "Bite Me" will never reverberate in the same way.

Oh Crap! Now I'm hungry...

Just purchased this from Amazon after hearing about it from a friend. I have been a fan of offbeat humor for a long time, and have many 'concept' humor books from the likes of B. Kliban, Gary Larson, et. al., but I have never found cannibal humor to be laugh-out-loud funny until I found this particular book. It's up there with the best of them, and deserves to be enshrined in the 'annals of ha-ha'. I love to eat. I love to laugh. I really dig the cartoons of Eldon Dedini, and have been a huge fan of his since sneaking a look at my father's Playboy magazines back in the 'dark ages' before the internet permeated consumer society. This book has given me warm and fuzzy sense-memory flashbacks to the days when a funny joke or cartoon would make for the good -times that I cherish in my memory. Author Ina Hillebrandt is a comic genius, and the combination of her writing and Dedini's cartoon style make for a unique and very funny ode to cannibal cuisine. Love it!

Enjoy! Mangiare!

This book is exactly what the title implies -- a series of stories, anecdotes, puns, and jokes about a cannibal diet. Note that there are NO recipes, though there is a reference to that famous book from the Twilight Zone, To Serve Man.

If you look beyond the obvious, there are also digs at diets in general, and even some light political commentary (I know I have heard that some groups eat their own, for instance).

The sassy cartoon artwork is by an artist you may recognize from The New Yorker, Playboy, or Esquire. All and all, a book that is great fun to dip into at odd moments, or easily finished in one sitting.

Enjoy! Mangiare!
