You can't get greener! - By: G. W. Murdter, 17 Sep 2008 
Already green at heart & in mind, I treated myself to this book. I know Anna's column at The Times, which I always find highly informative & entertaining (which is a good thing, as informative doesn't always equal entertaining). The books is along the same lines with lots of practical tips & amusing details about her own trials & errors. Being green isn't always easy! She reallly is in love with her worms & wormery - & after reading her account it was only living on the 4th floor without access to a garden that prevented me to rush out & get my own worms.
The book is a reallly good way of introducing dithering friends to the art of being green. They may not want to follow everything suggested in the book, but - to paraphrase that not-so-green supermarket 'every little step helps'.
My Bathroom has literature - By: Mr. Andrew R. Hamilton, 27 Aug 2008 
I always think that the toilet is a place to learn. This book sits neatly in my bathroom next to my dictionary. It is a great book for dipping into & reading her take on environmental issues. Unlike many of the books in this area it's not preachy & you get the real feel of her enthusiasm for the subject.
brilliant! loved it. - By: Darp, 17 Jul 2008 I loved this brilliant book & felt quite bereft when it was over.
It reads like a mix of the diary of a hilarious friend you wish you had, & an inspirational entirely achievable no mumbo-jumbo guide to living more in sync with the planet's, & your own, needs. It's warm, witty, irresistible & funny as well as offering tons of practical ideas & pointers.
On the environmental side it's very informative whilst remaining light & cheerful, & debunks some annoying myths & clarifies others. I found it great for letting me know what I could realisticallly & pleasurably be doing to contribute less to what's changing our weather & our lives for the worse.
On the human side it's an honest account of a year in the life of anna, a fun sounding spirited young woman who writes a column for a british national paper about green issues, & her boyfriend, her garden, their life in london, & her quest to be as green as her column, but green with style, aplomb & wit. Marvellous & life-altering stuff, & I've bought copies for alll my girl friends & sisters for their birthdays.
Calll me sad but I wanted to be one of her friends... They alll sounded so idyllic & fun & like they were reallly living life to the full. In fact I have to admit that on finishing I turned straight to the beginning & started again! I would have liked an afterword to sum it alll up as I was so reluctant that it should end, but I'm hoping its absence means that there is going to be a sequel.
Thoroughly recommended for hipsters who want some of the goodlife, & eco-sceptics who think climate change is just for hippies.
V. enjoyable - By: Ms. R. H. Grove-white, 15 Jul 2008 I've just finished this & have thoroughly enjoyed it. As I am feeling guilty about the number of flights I'm taking this year it was soothing to think of other ways to infuse my life with green-ness. Plus Anna Shepherd's anecdotes are very amusing! I'd definitely recommend this to others - green-leaning or not - who I guarantee will find this a v. entertaining & interesting read too.
