snark's review against another edition
Read like an angry internet rant, without the depth that I would hope for from a book like this. I'm not a huge fashion person, so maybe that part is also just lost on me.

This book has only fuelled my desire to move away from fast fashion.
There is a LOT of information in this book, and some concrete things that you can do, as just one person, to start moving away from a life that is consumed by consumption. Plus, a lot of this information can be applied to other areas in your life, in addition to your clothing choices.

Really had me thinking about my own consumption. I hope I can come back to this book again in a year or 2 for a refresher. It was very well put together and drove the point home. We are all responsible for our consumption and I hope this sticks with me.
