review 1: As far as vegan books go, this one was blah. The recipe section was limited, which is why I picked up the book in the first place. The rest was a mix of vegan high fiving and the same recycled info we've all seen in the pamphlets floating around. If you are looking for new vegan recipes check out any non Anglo cookbook and you will find some amazing stuff. If you are looking for a vegan shopping directory and confirmation that your new lifestyle is superior, go ahead and check out this book.
review 2: I have been reading vegans books for a while out of interest more for vegan friends and as I slowly decrease my animal consumption (both food and product). This, by far, is the best beginner's book!I really appreciate how non-judgemental, "live and let live" she ... moreis in her attitude. This is to her credit with converts. She talks a fair amount about making it work for you, which is the only way people will truly take it on. She writes all the information in truly digestible bits with added items of interest interspersed (I was not interested in the profiles, but I can see why they appealed to many).The best part on why I think it makes for the best beginner book was the breadth of information available. Yes, other books give more information as they go more in depth, but this one covered a lot of issues that I had not encountered in other books (even Veganism for Dummies!). While it did not go as in depth about food, and other books too have more on beauty products, it was the first time that I really saw the topics of vegan crafts, gardening and tattoos (despite other comments, I think tattoos are not cruel because the humans consent/desire it, whereas animals do not understand nor ask for the cruelty they endure). I even copied a few recipes.While I am not going to be running out to get it now, I am keeping note of it for if I decide to convert. Yes, it is good enough to purchase. less
