I agree with the poster below. While the book had some interesting and thought provoking moments, they were all too seldom. It did seem to turn into a large political rant, which I as well agreed with, however that was not enough to make me enjoy this book & recommend it to others.

If you do start reading it stick with it… it does get better. Either that or I got more accustomed to the complaining.

This book was a disappointment to me. I had expected a wonderful year full of stories about making do and discovering new ways to cook and save money. Instead, it was mostly a year of political diatribe that I found less then encouraging.
