...description of the differences between the muscle fibers of fish and those of meat makes it clear why seafood is naturally tender whereas meat needs cooking to become easily chewable. Detailed diagrams of molecular structures and cross sections of tissues are always related to cooking and eating properties. A reader with a less scientific turn of mind can skip the theory and get almost as much from the applied information. Never mind the cell structure of beef: anyone attempting to broil a very thick cut will find that the surface is burned long before the interior can be cooked...
...eavesdropping reader gets an earful of the couple's private life. There is much about debts and the obstacles that keep Paul from success.

For example, Hedren’s daughter, actress Melanie Griffith, describes Hitchcock as “a motherfucker” because of how he treated Hedren. Chandler quotes the line, gold to any reporter, but never explores why it was said...
...Trumpets Call, released by Simon & Schuster last month, O’Toole draws upon a wealth of primary sources—including several collections of letters of Roosevelt’s family members that are stashed away in Harvard’s Houghton Library—to offer the reader a glimpse into TR’s most private thoughts...
