Not Worth Your Time
This book could not keep my attention for more than 10 minutes at a time. I wasted valuable time in life trying to read this book. If you are not an extreme salt enthusiast, then please do not read this book. You've been warned.

Very dull. there are a few interesting facts listed in this book but they get over looked because the rest of it is so boring.

Salt...an Incredibly Boring Read
Salt is a very boring book and unless you are genuinely passionate about salt, its not advised to read it.

This book is horrid. It does not even talk about salt half the time. He is trying to relate things back to salt, but he is doing it terrible. Never read this book ever unless forced to (Oakton High School).

This book is boring, I had to read it for AP History an its the most tiring book to read. I fall asleep when reading. I don't recomend this book to anyone under the age of 50, or if you DON'T have to read it then don't an that's my honest opinion. Thank you.

I totally wasted $16 buying this book. I don't understand how a human being can enjoy such a dull novel. I enjoy history very much, but I'm sad to say it made my perspective of history less enjoyable.

if you want to read 449 pgs. of absolute useless and irrevolent history of salt this book is for you!
well, I'm a freshman and i was required to read and do multiple projects with this book; as a person who is pretty much addicted to salt and puts it on everything , I thought it would be interesting. HOWEVER..... I even had my PhD sister read this book and we both fell asleep out of boredom , it was a daily chore. I would sooner kill myself than reread this book, the only pro was there is a index in the back for me to only have to review as much as required...BEWARE!!! IT SUCKS!

If you are enduring any sleep problems or can't fall sleep, I strongly recommend this book for you. A couple of sentences, and BAM, you're dreaming. I have been looking for a way to fall asleep quicker, and this book truely works.
