The Plant-Based Power Diet: 10 Simple Steps to a Healthier, Leaner, Energetic You by Leslie Beck

This is an interesting book.  Like all books on health and nutrition I feel it is important to only take away what you feel will work in your life.  It is also important to not go too crazy or any changes you try to make won't last.
This is a good book for the novice or people who are already vegan.  As a long time veggie, I found it informative, yet not too complicated.
The book is broken down into sections and each builds upon the next.  She clearly explains what foods you need to eat in order to be a healthy plant eater.  Though I do feel like may be a little flat to those not familiar with nutrition.  I would be a good starting off point for getting terms and different kinds of grains, vegetables, and fruits many people are not used to eating so you can continue to do research or read other books that are more detailed.  It is also not preachy so it would be a good gift for relatives who are struggling to understand the vegan way of eating.
All in all it is a good informative read, but if left me hungry for more as there are more in depth books out there.  Becoming Vegetarian: The Complete Guide to Adopting a Vegetarian Diet and Becoming Vegan: The Complete Guide to Adopting a Plant-Based Diet by Brenda Davis and Vesanto Malina are great, especially Becoming Vegetarian (so many good recipes!).  Also The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone is great for the information and diverse recipes are a tad hit and miss.
