As a long-time Linda Blair fan, I attended the launch of this new book 'Going Vegan', benefiting 'Pacific Coast Dog Rescue'. I was highly impressed by the evenings events, tasting Vegan dishes, there were animal friendly fashions, and a great aura surrounding the evening. I received Linda's book, and when I sat down to read it I couldn't believe all of what I was being taught by it! It is full of information, a great read, very compassionate, thought provoking, and life altering! I have recommended it to everyone I know, it will change your life!
A MUST read!!

First off,let me tell you that I really enjoyed reading this book. It has all the essential info on why you should choose the vegaterian/vegan lifestyle,not to mention that the manner in which this book is written will grab your attention and keep you interested in every subject(trust me there are many),and I do not lie when I tell you that this book has changed my life and my outlook on the way animals in factory farms are treated. whether or not you wanna lose weight,lower cholesterol,or just want to feel better this book comes highly recommended.

Going Vegan is one book that I will cherish and nobodys allowed to borrow or take out of my house! This book will change you life and the way we all take simple things for granted. After following Ms. Blairs book, I have to say that I dropped a consideral amount of weight and never felt better. And to know that your, in essence, saving an animal on top of that is enough to buy one for all your friends. And my skin never looked better. Linda Blair is on to something. And have you seen her lately? Going Vegan is worth looking into.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who wishes for a better, safer and healthier world. I have been a Vegetarian most of my life and now a Vegan for 7 years. So I'm not new to the Vegan way of life and yet, I loved and learned much from this book. Most of the time you see celebrities writing books and you think that they are just using their celebrity to make more money and think "what would a movie star have to say that's intelligent?" Maybe that happens with other celebrities but we as humans shouldn't be so judgmental so fast. I don't know for sure about all other celebrities books but what I do know for sure is that "Going Vegan!" by Linda Blair is not one of these `money making schemes.' No, it's not an autobiography of her life. Someday, as a huge fan, I hope to read an autobiography written by her. "Going Vegan!" is her journey towards realizing that the way our world treats our animal friends on a daily basis is horrible and very selfish not to mention very unhealthy for humans too. You will learn that being Vegan means you don't have to give up any of the foods you love because there are substitutes for anything you would ever want to eat. Plus it's not "expensive" to go Vegan as I hear a lot from people I speak with that this is one of their reasons for not trying to go Vegan or Vegetarian. Plus the Vegan alternatives are better for your health. As a long time Vegan , having read countless books on the subject I found this book special because it's straight to the point and an easy read. Meaning since she is not a Doctor she is using language and thoughts that anyone can understand. Nothing wrong with reading a book about being Vegan written by Doctors, I actually suggest it and within her book Linda does too. What I mean about her book being an `easy' read is that it's a great "first" introduction book to the life of a Vegan. Linda is just a human being like the rest of us and so that's the way she talks to us within her book. She makes learning about "Going Vegan!" interesting and understandable. Plus you will get some wonderful recipes to try, which I have already done and they are yummy! You will also get a very helpful list of the types of ingredients found in everyday food that you might not realize are stolen from these innocent animals and placed within common foods. Some of the book is hard to read due to the tortures these animals go through on a daily basis but I urge you to give this book a chance to teach you. Reading a book about "Going Vegan!" doesn't make you're a radical Animal Activist. There is nothing wrong with being an advocate for the animals, they need all the help from us humans that they can get. But information is the key to a better future and Linda Blair might always be "The actress from The Exorcist - Linda Blair" but with this honorable and intelligent book she now deserves to also be known as a caring, tireless and intelligent human being now turned Author. She spends her time working and devoting her life to helping the animals and thus helping us humans along the way. Thank you Linda for this book.

I thought this was a very good book, however, I was really looking for information on the variety of emotions, cravings etc. that accompany someone making such a life altering decision.

Again, this was a good book definitely worth reading but could have been more in depth. Also there were a few typos which I found surprising.

The recipes were somewhat dissappointing as they were unusual and I believe a little challenging to make. I was hoping for more everyday type ingredients.

i was a vegan now im a RAWFOODIST its the only way to go for super health for all u vegans reading this i highly reccommend u check out rawfood.com. but that being said this book is good for the average vegan

I ordered this book on a recommendation, but found it to lack depth and substance. I was also distracted by the numerous editing errors and typos in it. I will give Linda Blair credit for a worthy effort on her part for a first book, and I believe in her cause, but I didn't learn anything new in it. However, that having been said, there is an extensive list of vegan resources which I found helpful, and I also found the typical day's eating for several vegans helpful. She touches on several issues concerning a vegan lifestyle, but doesn't really elaborate on any of them. The book is a little pricey for its content in my opinion, but good if one has read nothing else on the subject.
