I loved this book! I expected it to make me very glad for heat, which I was, but I found myself even gladder for the ability to eat vegetables whenever I wanted.
I think my favorite WHOA WHAT aspect was the part about the way the timing shook out so that they missed everything between the declaration of war in July 1914 to the discovery that it had been going on for, what was it, two years at that point? When he asked his friend at the whaling station how long the war had lasted and who'd won, and got @_____@ in reply, I just had to put down the book and go "OH GEEZ" at the wall for a second or three.
