I don’t know if this book is unpopular. I do know that the subject isn’t very popular. 

The Big Necessity by Rose George

I read and reviewed this a few months back. Do I think it should be required reading? I sure do. 

Besides, poop is kinda funny right? 

What can make a book hard to read? Only two things. Poor writing and/or using a language that I don’t read. Latin perhaps. 

But I’m going to answer this by talking about a book I found hard to read…until it wasn’t. 

There were some pronoun issues when I first started this. I was all wait, what? Who? Huh? But once I got into the groove it was all good. I wouldn’t say it was smooth as butter but ya know, it worked. Whatever the issues were Ms Mantel had them all ironed out by the time she wrote Bring Up The Bodies because that was even better.

If you start this one and it’s a little slow going, give it a chance. It irons itself out.
