Non-preaching, eye opening and encouraging. - By: J. Staniforth, 23 Sep 2008 
Have to be honest, it's rare I'll even bother to write a book review but feel compelled to here. After being a veggie for 20 years, I'm toying with the idea of becoming a vegan. I'm not one for being preached at & most 'activists' irritate me beyond description. Also, I'm not one for overblown Americanin your face type writing, so I was a little apprehensive about buying this. I needn't have been. It's superb. Honest, humorous, non preachy & debunks many myths including several perpetuated by vegans themselves. The authors include links for further info & resources which adds to the value too. If you're considering becoming a vegan or even just flirting with the idea, buy this book.
Amazing, informative and fun. - By: Toni Myers, 05 Nov 2007 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 & 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 & fun. I also now listen to the authors Podcast. There's a link on their website.
Thanks Bob & Jenna for this wonderful book.
Good opener - By: A. Morrell, 07 May 2007 
I've been a vegetarian for about 20 years & i have been rethinking the reasons why i became a vegy. As time has gone by i have realised that i am not the 17 year old angry activist willing to burn down the nearest slaughter house anymore. This book has re opened my eyes & re fueled the fire within, i am now going through the 21 days without animal products, & i am finding it suprisingly easy (even with no cheese). The book has an obvious american slant but don't let that put you off. If you are toying with the idea of becoming a vegan or just want to discover how or why, then you could do a lot worse than buying this book.
An essential read for fence-sitters! - By: R. Boyer-Willisson, 05 Mar 2007 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, & gave me useful strategies to deal with the daily practicalities of being veganin a largely carnivorous world. Although many of the specific products mentioned are for the American market,the advice is invaluable, & 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, & 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, & you want to understand why.
Tofu power!
easily the best introduction to veganism/vegetarianism - By: H. Smith, 26 Sep 2006 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 & 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, & experienced as a vegetarian & then vegan. It's definately the best way to sum up why anyone would be vegan, & how best to go about it too, I'm currently passing my copy around my friends! There are also loads of websites & recommended reading if you're interested further! A must-have if you're a veggie, vegan or know anyone who is!
