Jim Tilberry and his sidekick, Patricia Van Winkle, are an up-and-coming
legend—not of Rock and Roll—but of Veggie Rap and Roll. Before reading
their collaborative effort, "Revenge of the Vegetarian," Led Zeppelin
would be proud to be found doing the boogie woogie to the tune of the
twelve-bar blues at an all-you-can-eat meat-lover’s feast.
"Revenge of the Vegetarian: A Humorous Spin on the World of Vegetarianism"
is written on a comedic par with the self-deprecating gigs of the Carrot Top comedian. The comedy begins
early on when Tilberry explains why he enlisted a psychic to co-author the
book. In reality, he did not. He just wanted a “sidekick” not a “psychic” but
being hard of hearing, he responded to a friend suggesting Van Winkle to fill
the role and so he ended up with a psychic for a sidekick.
Van Winkle adds a whole lot of spice to “Revenge of the Vegetarian” with
her ability to converse with dead vegetarians of legendary status—Ghandi,
Hitler, and Socrates—to name a few. Sauce that up with Tilberry’s full-flavored
writing style and you will find yourself ready to shake, rattle, and roll with
laughter through the entire book.
Food For Thought: the insanity is occasionally topped with a taste of
profanity, so you may not wish to leave this book of veggie hilarity lying
around within the reach of wee vegan appetites.
Jim Tilberry and Patricia Van Winkle successfully poke fun at vegetarians,
vegans, and at meat eaters. By now you should be feeling like a pig in a poke
chomping at the bit to get yourself a copy of "Revenge of the Vegetarian -- A Humorous Spin on the World of Vegetarianism."
To allay your carnivorous
appetite for reading this vegetarian morsel just head to Amazon.com.
After reading the Tilsberry and Van Winkle collaborative effort, "Revenge of the Vegetarian,"
no doubt you and Led Zeppelin would be proud to be found doing the boogie woogie—not to
the twelve-bar blues—but to the tune of the salad bar blues.
