63) Ugh!!! Worst book I've ever read!
This is, by far, the most poorly written book I've ever read in my life. She writes as if she's "like, ya know, like, a green wanna-be. I mean, like, hello, like the heat goes out the attic, because, like, heat rises." This book is green "living" for the airhead, I suppose. So many typographical errors I lost count. Some words were just plain WRONG--they were homophones. Yoga poses? What has this got to do with green living? The author is a privileged person (and lets the reader know it) who is an overzealous shopper, one who can afford to shop and travel anywhere and everywhere--and does just that. These are, it seems, her passions; the love of shopping is mentioned numerous times throughout the book. Being truly environmentally friendly she is not. This is more of a shopper's aid. Part of environmental responsibility is NOT buying into the highly overconsumptive lifestyle which is typically American. Yet this is what she promotes, page after page after page.

"Go to my website, 'girls', and type in this password." GIRLS? Perhaps this book should have been in the kiddie or youth section in the library. It was written for an audience of "girls" (not yet high school girls), and written at their level as well.

This book was brought to my attention because I am very interested in the environment. A friend (who hadn't read it) told me she had heard about it on a nationally televised, well-known program. One of the guests, a well-known actress, wrote the Foreward in the book. Get the endorsement of a well-known, well-liked person, who then brings it with her on the popular television show, and you've got an automatic shoo-in for high sales, regardless of the content.

I read this book cover to cover, the whole time thinking how bad it was; surely it HAD to get better. It didn't. There are countless better books out there that truly address what green living and environmentally friendly are. Pass on this one.

61) Not worth the effort
The author's heart is in the right place, but she forgot to engage her brain. She touts things like clothing made of bamboo without acknowledging how far it has to travel to reach the U.S. She also repeats urban legends such as the supposed addition of asbestos to tampons so that women's periods will be heavier. There are much better choices for raising your eco-consciousness than this loser of a book.
