Book Reviews of Little House on a Small Planet: Simple Homes, Cozy Retreats, and Energy Efficient Possibilities
Book Review: Funky book
Summary: 4 Stars
Although most of the homes in this book take "simple," "cozy" and "energy efficient" to the extreme, I find it inspiring in terms of what's possible. I wish the photos (most are clumped together in the middle of the book) were printed alongside the story of the home they represent. It's confusing and frustrating trying to match the pictures with the correct home.
But I appreciate the imagination of the people featured in the book. If you have an interest in real-life examples of energy efficient living, this one's worth the purchase price.
