Informative and Inspirational

Everyone should listen to this book. The message is very relevant today with climate change a hot topic. However the narration and the very relatable main character makes this an enjoyable listen. It's hard to finish this book without new goals and being better informed. I also found it amusing and lighthearted.

Worth a listen!

To a degree it is a very basic - at times almost child like - level of story telling, however I have to admit it will get the points of the story across more effectively to a wider audience than the scientific, more factual or theoretical books I usually read. It did make some good points particularly about the meat industry that were very eye opening to me!

Loved It

At last an uncomplicated easy to listen to book, regarding the topic of diet, fitness, and wellbeing, and becoming Vegan or Vegetarian, along with covering the suffering of animals amongst other things. This book is worded and narrated in a way that everyone can connect with. I throughly enjoyed it, especially chapter 8. Some facts in particular from this chapter will stay with me always.

An insightful and motivating, life-changing read

Like Peter narrates in this highly interesting and thought provoking read, "We all have a vested interest in climate change.... By making one change in your life could save you money and make you healthier and happier!" . ...so why not read this book?! Without preaching at us to change our diets and lifestyles to become vegan, the author, Alan Twigg, instead attempts to persuade us by simply encouraging us to consider the basic facts! After listening to Joanne's advice about climate change, the main character starts to understand how destructive animal agriculture is. Surely if by accepting a plant based diet, we can become healthier and happier then I too, (and other listeners) can be converted!? After enjoying this audio book I have to admit that I am feeling more intrigued!

The author has a friendly and familiar, down to earth tone which makes this audio book less patronising and just reassuring. His occasional spoken errors remind us of his honesty and compassion. Alan Twigg is clearly passionate about delivering this life-changing and inspirational message, and if it helps us: his readers , to live longer and happier lives, whilst also reducing our carbon footprints on our previous planet, then I would encourage others to invest in this book.

After reading this I certainly don't feel bamboozled with facts, although there were many to be aware of, but it has definitely made me stop and think. Facts like 1100 gallons of water are saved due to each vegan per day, not to mention the animals lives and reduced co2.

This book has resonated with me on many levels. I too am an animal lover and have never truly felt comfortable eating meat but as Alan has pointed out in this honest novel, we are all gullible and brainwashed by policy makers and educators who hide some of these harsh facts from us. We are reminded of the links to the harmful effects of smoking and the difference between eating cattle or even dogs.

People are reluctant to change, and this book reiterates this message throughout, as it also promotes compromises with gentle suggestions such as reducing our meat consumption to trying clean meat, grown in a lab. With all this in mind, is it any wonder that the vegan population has massively increased over recent years!?

This book could be highly reassuring to anyone facing health difficulties, but also to any open minded individuals, who are perhaps ready to face a change and help to save our panet!

Very surprised!

I am actually very surprised that I enjoyed this book but I genuinely did and listened to it over a few days. I wanted to know some information about a plant based diet and this fictional book gives it you in a much more interesting way than reading an information article about the topic. I loved all the different characters and found them really interesting as they told their stories and how the main character took on board what they had to say to change his lifestyle and his health. I loved hearing how the main character’s relationship with his wife changed too. I would definitely recommend this book and I am certainly changing the things that I eat for a more healthier plant based approach following listening to this book. I am very much looking forward to what lies ahead in the next few months. Also loved the author’s accent reading the book. Already recommended to a couple of people to read.

A great book well read and written. I have been a meat eater all my life and this book really does make you think. This book has been put in simple terms and is backed up with fact. I can’t recommend this book enough I have listed to it now 3 times and it is on my favourites list.

Enjoyable presentation of key themes

A light story that focusses on a of range themes concerning a plant based lifestyle. I particularly enjoyed the fact that he found positivity in what happened to him and created something that would benefit others.

Heart warming

As a vegan of over 3 years, it was lovely to hear a story of a typical bloke go towards a plant based diet and improve his life. It reinforced why I went vegan in the first place so I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in the plant based movement and for vegans who just want to listen to a feel good story.
