Presto! How I Made Over 100 Pounds Disappear and Other Magical Tales by Penn Jillette

3.0

A crass, witty and funny account of a magician's journey to losing over 100 pounds and transforming his health on a plant-based diet. Unlike many other books about diets, the strategy following was wholly unconventional. At times written in hyperbolic prose, the book was funny enough and the diet was unique enough that I labored through a few all-too-elaborate metaphors to see what would happen next. It was worth it.
