I wouldn't say it was epic, but it was interesting and I was excited to hear about someone just going for it. I have a few how-to books written by folks that have been living green lifestyles for 40 + yrs and so it was nice to just hear the story of someone trying to get started in the lifestyle. The how-to books were daunting to someone who has always lived in the suburbs and who had their very first garden just a few years back (and a very little teeny tiny garden at that). This bumbling schmo gave me hope though - maybe I will get the nerve up to try some larger projects! I hate leaving a book unfinished, But I don't think I will finish this one. I love the concept of no impact on the planet, but these journals of largely failed attempts at living off the grid are not insightful or enjoyable to read. It would probably only take a couple of hours to finish, but there is a war inside me saying "you can't leave this book unfinished" and an obstinance against giving the book the gratification of me finishing it. I sometimes have discordant relationships with inanimate objects.The other book of this ilk that I didn't enjoy was "Better Off" by Eric Bende.
Entertaining memoir about trails & tribulations of trying to live off the grid
