First of all, I really thought this book was going to offer some valuable information or at the very least, a new insight for an old timer vegan like myself. I do like keeping a fresh perspective on the issues that I find important. Unfortunately, like many of the other reviewers, I was left disappointed. This book seemed a bit juvenile, and I kept thinking that I would have been more into it in my teen years, or even my early college years. It will also appeal to those who are really pissed off and have a huge vegan chip on their shoulder. This definitely isn't for the kind vegan or the first-time vegan newbie... and if you are new to veganism, please know that this is just one viewpoint and there are plenty of other more expertly written books on how to become vegan that are much more welcoming, less negative, and less exclusive. For the seasoned vegan with a broad mind, pass this one up. Personally, I don't care for the black and white view of anything, and their all-or-nothing stance on veganism seems repellant. I believe that for any cause to be taken seriously, you have to drop the club cards and open the doors to everyone. It's interesting how they blame Oprah for inspiring people to take the cause less seriously as if it were a passing trend, and that may be true, but I don't see them doing much better as far as getting people to take the cause seriously with their writing style. The repetitive negative opinions grate on your nerves after a while, as do their unsuccessful attempts at wit and curse words (woo, we can say the eff word in print, how cool are we?) and I found myself zoning out halfway through chapter one.
