Kirkus Reviews has selected Appetite for America as one of the top nonfiction books of 2010. It was named to a special list of books that didn’t originally get starred reviews, but ended up among the best of the year.

On this list of “nearly-starred”–which, for those of you not hip to the publishing lingo, means the books got positive reviews but not “starred” reviews–Fred finds himself in good company, with “The Emperor of All Maladies” and two books by friends, Jon Eig’s “Get Capone” and Bob Love’s “The Big Oom.”

Thanks to Kirkus Reviews for the holiday gift. And, if you’re curious, here’s a link to their original review.
