Book Reviews of Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping
Book Review: Not what I expected.
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought the author would write more about her struggles to give up spending. There was a little of that but most of it was a political diatribe. I'm so sick of ultra-liberals preaching their weird philosophies to the rest of us. This women has two homes, three cars, and at one time didn't pay a student loan because "nobody else did" until forced to do so because her credit rating was bad. What a hypocrite. Don't waste your time or money on this boring book.
Summary of Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping
"""The idea occurs to me, as so many desperate resolutions do, during the holiday season. I have maxed out the Visa, moved on to the Citibank debit card, and am tapping the ATM like an Iraqi guerrilla pulling crude from the pipeline. Convinced I am picking up no more than the occasional trinket...this atheist Grinch has managed to scatter $1,001 across New York City and the World Wide Web."" And so, disgusted with the commerce in everything from pet cloning to patriotism, panicked over the fate of her finances and that of the trash-strewn earth, Judith Levine enlists her partner, Paul, in a radical experiment: to forgo all but the most necessary purchases for an entire year.General Books
