I'm another one who wanted to love this book, but didn't. The concept (and the blog) are great - make 366 "green" changes over the course of a (leap) year and write about them as a "normal" person, i.e. what worked and what didn't.
The changes vary from switching to recycled paper towels to unplugging the fridge and getting rid of the car.
As a blog, the day to day changes and commentary works. As a book - we hear about day 30 and 35, but not the days in between. It left me with questions. (Conversely, it could have been a very very long book if it were intended to instruct.)
From an environmental side - Vanessa made some amazing changes. But admits at the end of the year that she intends to plug in her fridge and buy Cheetos. (For the record, I've never unplugged my fridge.)
In the end, its about balance. What works for one person may not be a change another can make.
Oh, and the love senario? meh.
I would, on the other hand, recommend it as light reading and good for creating discussions. But I wanted to be inspired. I wasn't.
