Ozeki, "All over creation" Penguin, London 2003 Reviewed by Peter E "Without labels you don't even know what you're buying and feeding your families...It is a violation of your consumers' right to know...

And Me..." (Page184) "..the same old bad, exploitative, greedy... behaviours. The same old excuses about why it's okay... to raze land and destroy animal habitat..." (Page 409) This is a brilliant novel based on factual evidence and making the reality of our world at risk from chemicals and GE (Genetically Engineered) Terminator seeds much more understandable. If you have a stand on GE, for or against, or just want a good story it's hard to put down, this is worth adding to your reading list. Winner of a 2004 American Book http://ruthozeki.com/ -- PER
