5.0 out of 5 stars
An essential read for fence-sitters!,
By
This review is from: Vegan Freak: Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World (Paperback)
Straight-forward, plain talking, with plenty of practical advice, this book is a must-read for anyone thinking of going vegan, or newly vegan. It really helped me clarify my own thinking, and gave me useful strategies to deal with the daily practicalities of being vegan in a largely carnivorous world. Although many of the specific products mentioned are for the American market,the advice is invaluable, and the extensive referencing gives plenty of scope for further, more detailed personal research.
As a new vegan, I would have been lost without this book, but it has consolidated my resolve, and my belief that my choice has been the right one for me. I would also recommend this book if someone you know has just gone vegan, and you want to understand why. Tofu power!

Amazing, informative and fun.,

This review is from: Vegan Freak: Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful guide for new Vegans, or soon to be Vegans, but I also think it would be great for long time Vegans.
It's well written and informative.......although not a book for people wanting information on the actual diet, this deals more with how to BE Vegan. I loved this book it was great to read and fun. I also now listen to the authors Podcast. There's a link on their website. Thanks Bob and Jenna for this wonderful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
easily the best introduction to veganism/vegetarianism,
By
This review is from: Vegan Freak: Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World (Paperback)
This book is easily the best, although shortest, book I have read on vegetarianism (and I'd like to think I've read a lot!!). I was quite unsure about buying it, but I read lots of good reviews and as it turned out I couldn't put it down! On many many occasions I was caught laughing out loud, even to the extent of crying!! These authors are so funny :) . They put into words everything that I have felt, and experienced as a vegetarian and then vegan. It's definately the best way to sum up why anyone would be vegan, and how best to go about it too, I'm currently passing my copy around my friends! There are also loads of websites and recommended reading if you're interested further! A must-have if you're a veggie, vegan or know anyone who is!
