Customer Rating: Summary: Animal Dreams Comment: Come to think of it...I never did receive this book. hmmm. Don't know how I missed observing this. Customer Rating: Summary: Magical Comment: When Codi Noline has to return to her hometown, to care for her father, it becomes an unexpected time of awakening. A number of subplots are beautiful thread throughout the story, including rekindled love, politics, the rich cultural history of the southwest, and how one might discover oneself in the most unexpected times and places. Kingsolver's ability to capture the essence of a land and its people continues to amaze me. I would rate it right up there with The Poisonwood Bible. Another beautifully written book. Customer Rating: Summary: Terrible Book Comment: This is, unequivocally, one of the most boring books I've ever read. Makes Hemmingway look exciting... Customer Rating: Summary: Another Favorite~ Comment: Read this on vacation in Hawaii. The single most important book that has changed my outlook on life, friendship and sisterhood. Customer Rating: Summary: Poetic Comment: I am not a fan of poetry, but I enjoy the poetic way Barbara Kinsolver writes about nature, life, relationships and family. This is a thought provoking novel, touching and real.
