Helpful Score: 1

This book is a fascinating behind-the-scenes exploration of modern agriculture, and tomato production in particular. It's thorough and in-depth, even providing a history of the domestication and spread of the tomato, yet concise. It's quite an enjoyable read. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because of its sloppy organization. Estabrook repeats himself occasionally, and the book reads more like a series of essays cobbled together than a single, cohesive story. It also lacks a conclusion and ends shockingly abruptly.
