**** 4 stars
I wasn't sure I'd like this as it initially comes across as rather preachy and the whole experience (of living a year on your own land raising your own food) seems like the kind of luxury only the privileged can really do these days.
However, even though the somewhat lecturing tone persisted to some extent, I found the writing to be so good and the anecdotes to be so interesting, I ended up really enjoying the book. It was also thought-provoking and I find that I may ave some new outlooks on some of the topics. A good read and one I've recommended to others since finishing it.
