A wonderful, quick read. The book is divided into many short chapters, covering different aspects of rural life in Vermont. The only part of the book that I didn't enjoy was a short section about raising sheep and preparing them for slaughter. That being said, it's true to lifestyle this book discusses, and is certainly a worthy inclusion. All in all, this can serve as an instruction manual for flatlanders looking to make the jump.
