Book Log 2007 #22: In the Devil's Garden by Stuart Lee Allen
I liked the concept of this book - a compendium of forbidden or controversial foods listed by its relation to one of the seven deadly sins - but the execution left me bored. I made it through the lust chapter, barely, and quit not too far into the second chapter.
Each chapter started with a menu of foods for each sin, and I think I would have liked the book more had the chapter been more focused on the menu, or at least had some sensible way of adding side material. It all seemed too disjointed, and I never quite got drawn in.
