A review by mjanssen
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life, by Camille Kingsolver, Steven L. Hopp, Barbara Kingsolver

5.0

I read Kingsolver's Poisonwood Bible and, though I liked it, I felt a little irritated at what seemed to me her too-obvious behind-the-scenes machinating. I like my authors of fiction to be so self-effacing as to be almost invisible. But her bubbly personality didn't bother me at all in Animal, Vegetable. In fact, I totally enjoyed her company, as well as her ability to explain complicated global food-supply issues with clarity and a light touch. An enjoyable travelogue, essential guide to eating in America, and, with its store of recipes and advocacy tips, an indispensable resource. Everyone should read it!
