After reading this, I might actually give gardening a try. I feel that I learnt quite a bit. I don't know that I'd devote the amount of focus and effort that they did to become locavores, but there is a large part of me that envies them.

The book flowed well. It was enjoyable to listen to. One particular nice feature of the audiobook was that various members of the family read the parts they authored. This small touch went a long way in creating a feeling of intimacy.

My only criticism is the very few times in the book where it was mentioned how man is responsible for global warming. I rolled my eyes each time... but, whatever. If the author wishes to believe that that subject has been put to bed, then fine. The rest of the book was great.

The greatest thing I took away from this book was an increased interest in food.
