Melody N. (Snick) reviewed on 7/9/2006 + 27 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 8

I loved this book, it definitely was what it promised - the story of two people and thier year of buying nothing but the basics of life. She makes no secret of being proudly liberal, and she talks about politics a LOT - just fair warning. It's not in the slightest about how to make do on a small income...it's a memoir of an upper-middle-class (AKA the luxury goods marketer's main target) couple dealing with the pressures of living outside of their demographic (and that of thier friends).
