If you’re already vegan you will probably like this book. If you’re thinking about becoming vegan don’t base your opinions of all vegans on this author. From the first page he says that we can’t be judgemental toward those who are merely vegetarians or, God forbid, meat-eaters. Yet he is continually judgemental throughout the entire book, making himself look like a pompous jackass.
There is a fact or two thrown in amid the opinions, but I would look elsewhere for real information. Becoming Vegan by Brenda Davis is a great source, and a much gentler place to start.

I enjoy being a vegetarian, and aspire to be a vegan in my eating habits for health reasons etc. I do not care for animal cruelty and support organizations to further the health and caring for animals. I purchased this book to learn more about the Vegan lifestyle but unfortunately trying to read this book is like trying to learn to swim by jumping off the high-dive. This book most definitely is for Vegan Freaks, it defines itself well because the rabid veganism it contains is just frankly, scary.I couldn’t get past 10 pages without just putting it down…hey if anyone knows someone who wants a lightly used copy..let me know. (I like to recycle too)

I read this book and liked it’s style and the information was helpful but I feel like the authors need to revise this book and try a little harder to cut down on the opinions and repetitive info and instead pack in more of their valuable advise. I’m not sure how to better explain this but I will illustrate how I read this book. I Read the whole thing really fast first of all, and when i got to the end I was shocked it was over. So I thought maybe I missed a chapter or two. So I skimmed back through it searching for the lost chapters, but they were not there. I was so desperate for more that I read the appendix over and over searching for more info. I guess I fell that this book is incomplete

two days after listening to the vegan freak podcast for the first time, i was lucky enough to win the book in a raffle. though much of the information wasnt new to me, there was a joy that came from the sense of camaraderie. perhaps most importantly, it reminded me of why veganism had been so important to me and renewed my dedication to living a cruelty-free lifestyle. between the podcast and the book, i am back on track. i also found the resource section to be very useful.

I’d been vegan for about 8 years when I read this book. It was amusing and I liked the style (I, for one, love making fun of overaged hippies; their belief that they invented social progress can be pretty annoying.) But there’s not much in it for experienced vegans.
Bob and Jenna are still pretty great, tho’. You should really download their VeganFreak Radio podcast.
