Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've enjoyed this book and found it an interesting read. The author does offer some good "thrifty living" advice throughout the book as well.
However, some of this book is more radical than most people might be willing to follow. We are a family with several young children - we aren't really up for moving away from all family, Church, and friends to live in a remote rural location. Nor would we be willing to convert an old bus into a home for our family. We aren't willing to give up basic utilities either. And as far as squatting on someone else's land and hiding our camp... well, let's just say that's not very practical with toddlers. :)
So, I think this book may be somewhat useful to families who are trying to live a thrifty existence and avoid the consumer trap. But at the same time, much of the advice may be too extreme for most people.
Its worth reading though, and I found the author's wry, conversational style writing entertaining and easy to read.
