 Good story, real life January 2, 2009
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Although I was questioning nearly every food choice while reading this book, it is fascinating! Not everyone will feel this way: a friend said she could not get into it because she doesn't like asparagus, and that is what the book was about (!?). Now that I have had time to fully digest the book (pun intended), I am able to be more mindful of my food choices without being completely overwhelmed. I enjoyed the recipes, and the notes on where to find more information on several of the issues presented. Read this book during the spring and summer -- then you can savor the best while reading up on it!
Comforting and Inspiring December 31, 2008

Good arguments and an interesting point of view from someone who knows how to make their own food from the earth, to the kitchen, to the plate.
Great Read December 29, 2008

I seriously loved this book. Yes, she was kind of preachy, and yes, not all of us can live on a farm in the Appalachians, but the premise is good. If you're liking what she preaches (sustainable, organic, family-produced food) then you'll love this book like I did.
Don't miss this life-changing book December 19, 2008

How can a memoir about food possibly be so enthralling, so inspiring? This is a book for every American. It is a key component to a more sustainable and responsible future, to living more in sync with our planet. I have made subtle changes in my diet over the years, trying to "eat right," but this book was the nudge I needed to go all the way. You will laugh about turkey sex and cry over poor farm children (and swear at the agribusiness conglomerates). Don't miss this life-changing book co-written by Barbara Kingsolver (my favorite author), her husband Steven Hopp (who adds thought-provoking inserts), and her daughter Camille Kingsolver (whose brief narratives and recipes left me begging for more).
 A total slog to get through December 18, 2008

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.
