Not as hard to read as some books about the attrositys that are perpitrated by corperations in the name of profits, due to the fact that these are the success storys. It is heartning that communitys don't have to lie down and be mown over by these self serving groups.

This is a great book for getting inspiration of how people came together for a local cause that ultimately became a long-term impact. There's a lot of information in the book and some of the stories will stay with you. The book is split in short chapters and it's good source of resources of how to get involved. It did take me a while to read, but worth reading it.

Similar in spirit to Goodman and Goodman's Standing up to the Madness (see my detailed review of that book, to get a feel for it). Good, inspiring read.
