4.0 out of 5 stars A heady brew of historical facts and reckless adventure, 2 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Devil's Cup: Coffee, the Driving Force in History (Hardcover)
Take 500 years of history, thousands of miles worth of precarious travelling, a bundle of religious fanatics, a gaggle of politics, a spoonful of war and some cake, mix it all up with some strange berries and an obsessive american in an enormous cup-shaped er...big cup and what you get is: The Devil's Cup by Stewart Lee Allen.

It's a bit of a novel, a bit of a travel book and a bit of a history book. Wrapped in a beautifully simple dust jacket, protecting a cunningly simple embossed hard cover. It's a pungent read and will even look good on your...er...whatsit table.

3.0 out of 5 stars Started well but....., 3 May 2010
By John Hopper (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Devil's Cup: Coffee, the Driving Force in History (Hardcover)
Some interesting historical snippets, but the author's writing style and gullibility (e.g. being taken in on an art-smuggling fraud) started to annoy me so I stopped reading two thirds of the way through.
