Book Review of Plenty: One Man, One Woman, and a Raucous Year of Eating Locally

Plenty: One Man, One Woman, and a Raucous Year of Eating Locally
reviewed on


The only reason I did not give this book five stars was due to format. Each chapter alternated between the authors and in the beginning I never realized it changed until the other author was mentioned. I found this very annoying. Once I realized what was going on, it was okay. I know it seems weak to deny the extra star because of this but I would have to go back and re-read the beginning of the chapter and I don't find that to be smooth reading. Otherwise, a five star wonderful book/story. It brought out the researcher in me as I know nothing about the Vancouver area or Canada for that matter. I tried to look up the website www.100milediet.org but it is nothing but asian writing. I don't know what that is about.

P.S. I read someone else's review and she thought the alternating chapters made the book "richer". Hmm.
