I read the other two reviews and I am wondering if they are referring to RAW KNOWLEDGE, the first book? And I just went straight to volume II, Paul Nison hardly speaks in volume II. It is full of incredible interviews with people that live the Raw Life. I have been researching a Vegetarian/Raw lifestyle and found this book to be very inspriational and extremely helpful.

I always had the impression that leading a Raw Life was difficult, and this book helped me see it in another way and that is not.

If you are new/researching the raw life I would HIGHLY recommend this book!

If you want a variety of ideas on how to go about eating raw food, this is a great place to start. You will get a variety of ideas, opinions, and suggestions from various raw foodists. It's nice to see that everyone has different ideas on how to eat raw food, and it works well for different people, doing different things. For example: some like sprouts, some think it's not a good thing, some like juices, some like smoothies, some dehydrate, some mono-eat, etc. If something doesn't work for you, try something else...the interviews give some great insight as to other things you could try yourself. I love tips and got a few great ones from the interviews in this book.

I have to say that the comments about how Paul "writes" the book must be comments about his first book, "The Raw Life," not this book "Raw Knowledge" I or II. This book is made up of just interviews, same with Raw Knowledge Part 1.

I DID read his first book called, The Raw Life, and loved the SECOND part of which was made up of interviews, and the interviews were very interesting and well worth reading. I definitely did not like the way he wrote the "first section" of the book where he was comparing eating raw food to being like boxing, or saying you should or shouldn't do things, but not backing them up with "why." I thought that section was choppy and not easy to follow or understand, I could not relate to what he was saying, my friend said he just isn't a good writer that's all, was trying to explain things, but wasn't doing a good job of it. But, maybe it reaches others in a different way. Personally, if I re-read that book (The Raw Life), I skip the first part and jump to the interviews.

I DO recommend Paul Nison's books for the interviews. The interviews in each of his books are different, no duplicated interviews, and they are fabulous, informative interviews which can give great advice and suggestions to those interested in eating raw food.

This kind of writing should be illegal! It reads like a harry potter knockoff manual for raw-newcomers, wherein Paul Nison is the benevolent expert magician. The author has nothing new to say, takes up space with EXTRA LARGE print and silly pictures and everything that OTHER people have to say about the diet. I never bothered reading past page one. This book is insulting to my IQ and a total scam.

this book is a complete waste of money. paul nison either is unintelligent or just doesn't feel like researching the subject. he talks like he's god's gift but he is not inspiring as he claims to be.
