review 1: Quaint funny story about four very different people (a young go-getter, an alcoholic agoraphobe, a chicken-tending little girl and a blue grass has-been) coming together to give farming a go. We get to read from each of their unique perspectives with their own voice. It's like Game of Thrones in that regard but better since the POVs are more personalized and stylized, like Earl reads like a good-old boy from a Cormac McCarthy book with his purposeful bad grammar like "should of."
review 2: Artie Johnson of the old Laugh-In TV show used to have a line that he repeated each week in a comical German accent. The line was: Verrry Interesting.... but silly, stupid, dumb. That describes this book to a tee. The concept of a young woman who wanted to make an old run-dow... moren farm into a viable self-sustaining organic farm was a very interesting idea. But the but started there and then when steadily downhill. Everyone one was lying to each other and the authorities. The ending was the most stupid of all. All the characters were misfits who had multiple serious problems that solved themselves in totally unlikely ways. No one was particularly likeable, and although I generally like stories that change point of view,this one literally changed every two pages. As you can tell, I didn't like this book, and would not recommend it to anyone. less
