Product Description
Author Barbara Kingsolver and her family abandoned the industrial-food pipeline to live a rural lifeâvowing 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.

 3 1/2 stars November 22, 2009
Mekkins (Out There)
I might have enjoyed this book more if I hadn't read it right after reading "The Omnivore's Dilemma". That was such a great book that whatever I read next was bound to be a bit of a letdown. Still, it's a good read and has some nice humorous touches. I especially got a kick out of Lily - wish there had been more of her. The negative reviewers are right in that Kingsolver does get a bit preachy at times but not enough to ruin the book. Anyone who is into or interested in the local food movement or gardening in general should enjoy this book.
 Feel Good Book of the Year November 20, 2009
J. Lovering (Berkeley, CA)
I read a lot of non-fiction regarding food politics, farming, etc. Unlike a lot of books that leave you feeling overwhelmed and depressed, this book made me feel warm, inspired, and optimistic. A great look at the positive benefits of getting back to basics when it comes to food. This is a good book to read before Thanksgiving and Christmas as it takes a really positive stance on our food culture surrounding holiday feasts. I kept explaining this book to friends as vegetable gardner porn.

This is a great book and Kingsolver is a great writer. For all those curious about food/ all apreciators and lovers of food, live vicariously through Kingsolver and her family as they embark upon a year long experiment with living off of the land in upstate new york. It will change the way you view the seasons and your food choices.

Domenico S. Petrillo (Beacon, NY)
A book for anyone who is interested in the process of getting off the food pipeline to being as self-sufficient as possible in our global cacophony of food production. Writer Barbara Kingsolver shares the stage in the this fantastic book with her husband and daughter. This is a personal yearly voyage of a family seeking the meaning of real food as an extension of their environment. "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life" shares potent, relevant and vital information about food production (past and present), "green" networks and nutrition.

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life November 5, 2009
Enny Way (Lyme, CT USA)
This book could change your life. Barbara Kingsolver is a wonderfully witty writer who invites you into a year of life as she and her family eat food which is grown locally using sustainable agriculture. Much of the food they grow themselves. In inserts throughout the book, her husband, Steven L. Hopp, contributes pertinent information about various agricultural issues and suggestions for action. In each chapter Barbara's college age daughter, Camille Kingsolver, tells about their cooking experiences and includes recipes. I have never had so much fun learning about what's good for me.
