mancritter menschenfresserin by Carl Palmer (University Place, WA)  5 Stars
October 21, 2009
Contingency Cannibalism was given to me by a writer friend that has lots in common with Shiguro Takada, they could be one in the same. The disclaimer states vividly on the back cover blurb and again in the author's note on the first page, "For Entertainment Purposes Only!" (note the exclamation point!) and boy was this anthronerdalistic work entertaining.
This book inspires me to present my athletic (and very well endowed) vegetarian neighbor a T shirt inscribed, "Eat Me".

This book is great! Very easy to read and very practical. It was surprising to find a book with so much humour on such a serious topic. Plus it includes great recipes!

Delicious by Joylyn T. Gulley (Anchorage, AK) 5 Stars
February 07, 2007
This book reminds me of conversations with friends sitting around the fire at midnight with wine. Things get a little silly, there is some swearing (I believe this is what other reviewers are calling "adolescent language"). Sometimes in the book it works, other times it is tiresome. But most importantly....you come away from the get together knowing that some blatant truths have been revealed. Sometimes in language that is blunter than you like....but truth is truth.
This book is like that. The dark humor? It's VITAL. Without it, you can't be expected to survive long in any situation.
There is a LOT of truth in this book. Not all of it's pretty, and human nature can be pretty ugly at times.
The most important thing I came away with from reading this book, if it looks like cannibalism may be necessary, DON'T WAIT too long! While you waffle over the blackened remains of "morality" and "ethics", your body is engaging in cannibalism ALREADY.....on the LAST person you want to see eaten!
This is an excellent book. If you only want to read one book on the subject, I'd say go with this one. If you are sqeemish, genteel, or want to put your hands over your ears at the thought....why are you looking at this page at all? Accept your morbid curiosity for what it is! Either get the book, or remain content to surf the internet on the subject.

Don't Eat Me...wait... by Jim Horries  1 Stars
May 30, 2003
The author obviously experienced severe trauma as a child, because this is one of the most disturbing subjects I have ever had the misfortune to read.

All tongue in cheek by Detra Fitch (USA)  2 Stars
March 14, 2003
This book is a mostly "tongue in cheek" look at the world of cannibalism for survival. While it is darkly humorous, It's rough and raw and covers topics like "Does it taste like chicken?, What will my friends think? etc...Shiguro also takes a look at cases where cannibalism actually occured, such as the ill-fated Donner party, the stranded Uruguayan rugby team and several other case histories.While meant totally as a humorous book, it has some serious undertones.
