Book Reviews of Plenty: One Man, One Woman, and a Raucous Year of Eating Locally

Book Review: Best Memoir I've Read
Summary: 5 Stars

I thought "Plenty" was a fantastic book. I had downloaded and read their journal from online before the book came out and loved it. The book was frosting on the cake with its primary data and documentation which support their (and our) efforts to relocalize our eating. Alisa and James' search for local food echos our own in an efforts to personally relocalize in a town that doesn't have much insight into what's happening in the world. Ya done good, kids! You go!
