Farewell, My Subaru, The Short Film
Reviews of Farewell, My Subaru
“Fine is a…storyteller in the mold of…Douglas Adams. If you’re a fan of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy-style humor — and also looking to find out how to raise your own livestock to feed your ice-cream fetish — Farewell, My Subaru may prove a vital tool.” –Washington Post
“A chuckle or a wry grin is waiting on every page, if not each paragraph. It’s the kind of humor that builds gradually, that sneaks up on you with such stealth that you hardly even realize what a good time you’re having until it’s all over. By the end of Farewell, My Subaru you can think of nothing that would seem like more fun than hanging out at Fine’s ranch, vainly striving to keep his goats from eating the rose bushes. Think James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small — updated as appropriate for the iPod generation.” –Salon
“Fine is an eco-hero for our time.” –Miami Herald
“The details of Doug Fine’s experiment in green living are great fun…what we are built for. It’ll make you want to move!” –Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future
He is Bryson funny. –Santa Cruz Sentinel
“This is Green Acres for the smart set–– a witty and educational look at sustainable living. Buy it, read it, compost it.” –AJ Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically
“Fine survives drought, biblical floods, and UN-hating [ranchers] as he gradually becomes “solarized” …along the way readers will root for this dry sharp wit and his rosy green dream. Fine’s funny struggle to become a better world citizen will entertain both the eco-aware, and those who doze peacefully in their home’s formaldehyde fumes.” –Bookpage
I loved the book and passed it on to a friend! I’m also enjoying your website. Can’t wait for another book!
Dear Doug,
Hope that the river crossing has not become impassable during this unusually rainy June. I wanted to mention that there’s a biodiesel resource near Las Cruces. RIO VALLEY BIOFUELS — 575-882-5199
Farewell, My Subaru was great and I hope to hear more about a video documentary in the near future.
