I wasn't sure that I would like the book, but I'm glad that I did read it. The challenges that young people faced moving to Vermont and living off of the land - in some ways I wish I had been that idealistic. I don't necessarily agree with the political side of the story, but it was still a good read. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to escape the world we live in now, if only for a little while.

An interesting premise, but I found it too poorly written to enjoy. One sentence was an entire paragraph, and not a short paragraph either. A good editor could peobably save this book.

I found this to be an interesting read. A young, idealistic couple move to a property in Vermont to begin a commune in 1968. Completely unprepared for the experience of farming, they struggle through with the help of a pair of older neighbors. Over time, they learn to adjust to the (to them) foreign ways of rural Vermont. It was an enjoyable book.

Unfortunately, I thought the subject matter and the era in which this story took place would be enough to grab my interest. Alas, this wasn't so. Life is too short. Apologies, but DNF.
