rachelxthings 's review for:
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by Barbara Kingsolver
I found this book interesting and definitely an easy enough read. I like the authors writing style - though I agree with other reviewers that it gets preachy at parts - and the segments are well dispersed.
While I learned a lot, I don’t know if I can say this had many practical implications for me, a young adult living in a city with a small apartment. It feels like the impression I get from this book is you need a whole acre of ready-for-you farmland plus a lot of historical/familial knowledge to be able to do it. For those of us who don’t have that, it doesn’t feel like an approachable task to grow your own food. This book underscores a lot of great points and it inspired me to wish I was able to do those things but I don’t know that I will ~actually~ be able to.
