Review of 'Extra virginity' on 'Goodreads'

Interesting subject matter but I'm a little disappointed because I was hoping to learn how to find good authentic olive oil and instead learned not to trust anything and it's probably all fraudulent. Audio book version has some 40 minutes left after the end - the guy is reading the glossary which just points out a flaw in the format as there is no way to flip forward to see if there might be appendices or other good back matter.
