Summary: A sad tale but true.......
Review: Ever wondered why we should seek out organically produced foods? This book gives you the answer.

I was very impressed with Eves Story as in some ways its parrallels some experiences of my own.

The book read like an adventure novel ( or Eve Hillary might say "misadventure"novel It is hard to put down as you really want to know what happens next.Other readers have made the same comment to me.

After having the book sent from the USA I was amazed to find that Eves experiences took place in Sydney NSW Australia and in Rural NSW Australia. However this could happen to anyone anyhere.

I now discover that Eve is living about an hours drive from me! Eve if you read this please contact me as I feel your book is worthy of review in a Health Newsletter distributed Australia wide. Personally I think everyone should read it as we get too complacent about the chemicals on our plates!

Summary: Thought provoking - what are all the chemicals doing to us?
Review: This book was very thought provoking and makes one wonder about the overuse of chemicals around us, although most of us don't find ourselves in the authors position of being exposed to massive chemical and pesticide use, whether it be in farming or other industry. I now find myself looking around the house and questioning whether I need that bottle of bleach, disinfectant etc. Good on Eve for having the strength to fight on even though conventional medicine didn't have any answers for her or her son - it was sad it took 10 years for her to get any answers. In the past I have found myself dismissing environmental illness somewhat, but after reading this book I realise the dramatic effect it has on some people and I can't help but sympathise and admire them. The ultimate question is, how are our own lives being effected?
