About Vegan *Living*
This is a fantastic book about vegan living. Most books out there are about vegan diets or echo-friendly living, but this book combines both aspects. Compassion for animals and the planet Earth and a healthy diet. It covers vegan living thoroughly and it made me want to learn more about a lot of subjects. Unfortunately there are a few mistakes here and there and a few assumptions based on flawed scientific studies which bothers me more than it should, because they aren't really all that common.

If you want to lead a healthier life that is based on respect for your body and our planet this is a good book to start. It is also nice if you are simply trying to understand your vegan friend. Just don't be scared by its sometimes extreme views on life.

A Good Introduction to Vegan Living
It's a good resource for anyone who might be considering becoming a vegan or has recently switched to a plant-based diet. The authors cover a lot of information, most of it good, some of it open to discussion. For example, there is text in the book on vaccinations that I disagree with, but I know some would not.

I think it's written with the young, inexperienced cook in mind. Still, I found the information on vegan staples, hidden animal ingredients in food and beauty products, and the health benefits associated with a vegan diet all informative. The chapters are handy, the authors provide websites so the reader can find more information and products, and there are recipes (none of which I've tried yet) that look good.

This book provides a broad overview of what it means to be a vegan and gave me plenty to think about. It would be very helpful for someone who has recently become a vegan, but it should not to be used as the only resource.

A Great Introductory Book
A good introductory manual for anyone even remotely considering the switch to a vegan diet. This book delves little beyond the surface and I'd definitely recommend that a newbie do more research on nutrition after reading this book. As a veteran vegan of one year, however, I still found interesting tidbits that were new to me. I'll be keeping this book around for as a loaner to those curious about the lifestyle, and also for the recipes in the back. I do give this book props, however, for detailing the history of vegetarianism and veganism, something you don't find in most other books of this nature. I think it's beneficial and grounding for all vegs to know how the movement began.

Awesome-Don't waste your money on any other book
This is not only awesome for beginners but also long time vegans for a refresher and new ideas. If you're already vegetarian, this will prove how easy it is to transition into a very healthy vegan diet. This book introduced seitan to me and it was staple in my house until I over did it and formed a gluten intolerance...but maybe one day I'll be able to enjoy it again.

The recipes are sooo good. I like the collection of recipes in this book better than the modified versions of Vegan Cooking (like the mayo and cheesecake).

I recommend this book and The Nutritonal Yeast Cookbook and Vegan cooking-they're all you need.

Dont buy it
The book is a little preachy. It really left me feeling like I wanted more and much less from it. I dont like it. Really I should have sent it back. Want to buy mine? :)
