Customer Reviews
Junk is Not Good but this book is.
I enjoyed reading this book. As an eco-warrior and minimalist, it interests me. I didn’t like all the interviews tho. They were so long and windy and off track to me. However, I still will give it a 4 because of the topic and the fact that I didn’t learn anything new.
