review 1: I know there are many reviewers that loved this book, but though I found the snippets of Amish life easy to read (and in some cases interesting), I didn't ever long to get back to the book to read more. I pushed myself to finish it so I could mark it as "read" and I like my motivation to read a book because I'm compelled to get to the end by the book itself, not my desire to check something off on my "to-do" list.
review 2: I love the simple life of the Amish. They really focus on family, and they INVOLVE the children in everything, yet they don't let the world "revolve" around them. This is a good book to have on the living room coffee table, with short true stories of Amish families and the values they cherish. I love the lifestyle but don't know much abou
... moret the religion itself. I'm sure that's something that can be learned in another book! Good read! less

There are some great nuggets in here. My favorite is the chapter on the gas cans.

Interesting, over-romanticised.
