"This book would be good to use in a environmental class because of the issues they address. This book brought back memories of my childhood of when we had a garden and canned some of our vegetables. This is very useful for anyone who is interested in the environment and looking to make changes."
"This is a wonderfully written, warm book. Hopefully lots of fans of Kingsolver's fiction will read this book. I personally like it a lot better than her well known fiction. It is factually correct and really addresses the issues surrounding sustainable agriculture in a personalized as well as universal way. She makes subtle considerations easily understandable and assimilated and entertains while she is doing it. Well done! Read this book - it will really draw you in!"
"Kingsolver’s latest book, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life, describes the year her family promised to only eat food they had grown themselves, or only eat food that had been grown within a hundred miles of their farm in Virginia. This subject is serious but the writing is sometimes humorous and always clear, thoughtful and appealing. The book made me feel guilty about my grocery shopping habits but she also taught me to make better choices."
