2.0 out of 5 stars Joke wears a little thin
Let's face it, this instant Zen thing is funny. But once you've shelled out the bucks for the kit, you may find yourself wondering why you bothered. You're never really going to understand Bonsai by sprouting a potato. You might learn something about Zen somewhere down the road, but I wouldn't count on it.

This is the perfect holiday gift for the people you have to buy a gift for...but don't know what to get. This book and a big fat Russet, and you are in business. I actually got the book as a gift, and now it's on the top of my shopping list.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am in love with bonsai potatos!, April 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of the Bonsai Potato Kit: Zen - Without the Wait! (Paperback)
Bonsai potatos are the best. Every day I wake up in the morning and see how my potato has grown. Since I purchased the bonsai potato, I have been filled with ecstasy. All good Americans should buy a bonsai potato.

This review is from: The Art of the Bonsai Potato Kit: Zen - Without the Wait! (Paperback)
Let's face it, this instant Zen thing is funny. But once you've shelled out the bucks for the kit, you may find yourself wondering why you bothered. You're never really going to understand Bonsai by sprouting a potato. You might learn something about Zen somewhere down the road, but I wouldn't count on it. If it was this simple, all elementary school teachers would be Bodhisattvas and their students, enlightened masters. No, this is pretty much a joke, and a good one, too, but in the end it's a lot of money to pay for something that's going to leave you with a rotting potato and a bunch of bored friends who have heard the joke a few dozen times. You could go to the supermarket and get a sweet potato and do the same thing for far less.
