Too Much Coffee Man Book Review
"in the land of toast, the butter is spread very thin" Too Much Coffee Man As deep as a refillable coffee cup.
A philosopher with a mug on his head.
Too Much Coffee Man, Espresso Guy, Too much German white chocolate women with Almonds, to name just three of the characters in this book. You start of getting the feeling the books going to be weird. Then the characters with cups on there head, the title it must be all about coffee. But don’t let this fool you, its not really about coffee. It using coffee as a metaphor for so many things in life. But this is not unusual. Spend some time around a coffee shop and coffee is the fuel for philosophy. And too much coffee guy has this in spades. It will make you think, think about life and the whole meaning of it. Its approach is just like coffee Dark, deep, complex and sometimes leaves you a little bitter.
Chapter four for me is the best bit of this book, as it left me with a little knowledge about coffee that I didn’t know before. It takes on the topic of the now mythical, the Macdonald’s lawsuit. For those who don’t know Macdonald’s was sued by a woman, for selling her coffee that was too hot. There are many myths about this case, some wildly untrue some spun by the media to make Macdonald’s look good. Some spun by the interweb by people who play Chinese whispers. This chapter gives an unbiased view about what really happened, and I for one left it feeling I knew a little more. In fact looking back over the book, it’s a comic strip that left me thinking, a comic strip that changed my opinion, and a comic strip that entertained, what more can you ask for!
