This book was short and no more than a list of ways to "live green." It had fewer usuable suggestions that I expected and didn't have a lot of creative or unique suggestions. Overall, I was a bit disappointed.

This book is a general overview of basic Amish life. It covers a variety of topics very briefly and moves on. No interviews or direct quotes, very few specific examples throughout, but has a lot of general knowledge. It is an excellent resource for someone who knows little to nothing about Amish life, probably not as helpful to someone who would like an indepth book about the Amish.

After hearing about Nora Roberts for some time, I decided to read this book based on good reviews. I felt it was a semi-intriguing story, but the writing was far from captivating. I love mysteries and fiction in general and this one fell short of what I had expected from such a well known and well loved author.

Excellent book! The end was a bit of a disappointment for me, but I found myself very interested throughout the entire book.

I am not a fan of authors who deliberately make their books appear to be written by other well known and best selling authors. The layout of the cover as well as the way the author and title are displayed (not to mention the author's name) has been designed to deceive. That being said, the writing in this book was okay and I thought the story was interesting although I wouldn't recommend it as a must-read.

This book is basically a collection of oral history from the early - mid 1900's in rural Alabama. I've met the author and he is a cheerful man who grew up as one of 14 children and eventually went on to serve in the Alabama State Senate and hold other government positions. He wrote this book when he was 97 as a way to pass on true stories that are full of interesting situations needing to be dealt with in a poor rural, southern setting. It is an educational glimpse into real life in the South roughly 100 years ago.
