Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.)
by: Barbara Kingsolver, Camille Kingsolver, Steven L. Hopp


Editorial Review:

Author Barbara Kingsolver and her family abandoned the industrial-food pipeline to live a rural life--vowing that, for one year, they d only buy food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is an enthralling narrative that will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat.

saccharine, illogical:

I was excited to read this book, having just finished the Omnivore's Dilemma and Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer, both of which are very thought provoking, lucidly argued, and well written (though not without their flaws).

Great Read!:

This is a great book that brings you back to the basics that we seem to forgot in a society of "I want it now!". The writing is excellent!

Book Review by Jay Gilbertson
The sub-title for this non-fiction account could read--"Who Grew it?" Or maybe--"It came all the way from where?" It's a refreshing, lively paced account of a how a family of four literally dug in, gardened their brains out, and had a stocked-to-the rafters larder to prove it. But more importantly, it's an information-packed collection of stories, and farming experiences suggesting viable alternatives... more info
