I like this book, basically. It gives a non-faddish, well-researched, sensible set of guidelines for eating raw foods and foods cooked on extremely low heat (foods that are prepared in such a way as to leave their enzymes and vitamins in tact and available for the human body). Overall it's pretty good.
I just was a bit bored with reading so much about Ms Alt herself. I'm not interested in her biography, not even in her road-to-raw biography -- all of that could have taken up a few paragraphs and left more room for more information suitable to the reader's life. To be fair, though, the last third of the book is full of recipes that don't require a lot of rare equipment.
