Book Reviews of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.)
Book Review: A must read for all Americans
Summary: 5 Stars
This book should be required reading in every high school in the USA. Local eating seems like common sense, and we have definitely gone crazy as a country. Numerous examples of this are in this book. Barbara presents info that is extremely thought provoking while using an easy to read and delightful, sometimes humorous writing style.Book Review: A must-have book for your libraby
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually bought this for my daughter-in-law who has kept the library copy too long. The book itself was masterful; I laughed aloud several times as well as commiserating at other times. The recipes are very interesting and useful. I want a sequel. I was not a Kingsolver fan before, but I am one now.Book Review: A refreshing view on Agriculture, our food and a different take on fine living.
Summary: 5 Stars
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle
Barbara Kingsolver has done a good deed to society when she shared her experiences in this book. I took a second look at how I live, take things for granted and have a new and refreshing appreciation for our land and how we use it. She didn't start this endeavor until her family was fully onboard which I thought was an awesome credit to her family life. I look forward to trying her recipes!
Book Review: A total slog to get through
Summary: 3 Stars
My bookgroup appreciated that this book informs readers about important issues around food and the environment, but most of us couldn't finish it because it was mind-numbingly boring. There was almost no storyline to hold our interest through the endless preaching about the environment and descriptions of growing/harvesting. One member of our group (an MIT-educated PhD) thought the author should have cited sources for all the facts she threw around about environmental impacts, and the rest of us just wish it had been waaaaay shorter. The editor must have been out to lunch on this one.Book Review: A wonderful spring read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is everything I could want as winter is leaving and spring is beginning. I am learning so much about the foods I have been eating and about the evolution of food. This book will inspire you to garden and to make smart food choices for you and your family. Thank you Barbara Kingsolver for your inspiration!!
