Ratings and reviews

this book is a very chill book. great one to listen to before you go to bed but it's also at the same time. very intense. Mitch makes it fun to listen to any other time

The way Steve Rinella and the rest of the Meateater Crew articulates words in phenomenal. I came for the stories, yet I stay for the in-between.

Captivating stories, and great narration.
