This book would be a good read if it didn't rely quite so heavily on sensationalism and bias

This could have been SO good but the author was super judgmental and freaked out. Not only by cannibals, just by different cultures, religions, and oddly, fat people.

Raffaele travels to Papua-New Guinea, South America, India, Africa, and Samoa. All to talk to cannibals and/or hear about former cannibals.
There are a couple of times that he comes close to the "meat", and in India he's offered human ashes on his tongue and he twitters like a Victorian lady over the shame and disgust of it all - the whole time sounding like he's just looking for permission to give it a try.
He's probably not the most culturally sophisticated guy in the world, but definitely has balls for going to the places he goes.
Interesting to read, and scariest guys were definitely the ones in Papua-New Guinea.
