Prodigal Summer: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: A work of art
Review: This is one of the most beautifully written books I've ever read. The various personal stories that are woven together in this book give the reader wonderful insights into the very real characters. In addition, the book teaches important lessons about ecology and the place of human beings in the natural world. I love it. I love it. I love it.

Summary: Not my favorite Kingsolver work
Review: Kingsolver is probably the author I admire the most. If I could write a novel like the Poisonwood Bible I would die satisfied with my contribution to the world. Prodigal Summer is full of symbolism and provokes thought, but not to the extent of PB. I also did not enjoy the author's voice in this text as much as I usually do. For a more enjoyable read try the two books featuring the lovable Turtle.
