First the good news: The writing was very good. Not Shakespeare, but very good. ;) Unlike many ebooks nowadays, the editing was apparent and the formatting worked. A few of the projects were explained well, including good graphics to help the more visual learners among us.The less good news: It felt incomplete and a few of the 'projects' seemed like filler. The introduction was extremely thorough (read EXTREMELY THOROUGH), but if each book begins with that much background info, it seems to me that the author is just trying to make a book out of a few clever ideas I can find out about on a million websites. For free. And if each month's activities are in separate books I have to buy, I would feel like I'd been tricked into buying twelve thin books that should have been one complete volume. In fact, I have a book exactly like that sitting on my shelf right now, except it contains more projects per month.Honestly, I should be thrilled that anyone is putting this information out there and making it more accessible to the masses. Part of me hates myself for knocking it. The author is probably an awesome person with fantastic ideals and who lives a life I'd be proud to live. So, yeah, maybe I am a terrible person. But at least I'm also a terribly honest person.Overall, the information was good, especially for those new to doing things the eco-friendly way, but it was too thin.
