Product Description
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.

 Too much preaching October 6, 2008
kam (austin)
How to rate this book was difficult as there were portions that I enjoyed. But by the time the friend came to visit from Arizona and I heard again about the waste of gas to bring food I felt I had been preached to too much. A shortened version of this book would be better.
 Local is better October 4, 2008
Jitka S. Arseneau
This book is very inspiring for those who are unaware or unclear about how much buying produce from far away affects our environment, our farmers and biodiversity. I loved it, and starting following the principles - they make sense.
I love this book! October 4, 2008
Virginia Wardell (Virginia)
Barbara Kingsolver is such a fluid writer and as this book chronicles her families' year eating only locally grown foods, I was inspired to change the way I gather, prepare and consume our meals. I probably couldn't do right now what they did for a year but I am inspired and the recipes she shared were all very very good.
Amazing and Inspiring September 30, 2008
Laura OBrien (Los Angeles, CA USA)
My students now ask me if I am on Barbara Kingsolver's payroll because I have been so moved by this book and quote it all the time. The emphasis on both personal health and the well-being of the planet is something we ALL need. Brava!! Amazing!
 Inspirational, Entertaining and Informative September 27, 2008

Barbara Kingsolver knows how to impart her knowledge with a wit and style that keeps you entertained and at the same time makes you want to change the world (or your life, at least).
