Title: Did you love storytime as a child?
Review: The story gripped me and would not let go. Having the luck to also have "read" this on the book on tape version read by Kingsolver herself, I enjoyed it all the more... so if you're a "car reader" like me, give this one a try. You'll find yourself making excuses to go on long road trips.Kingsolver's voice is pleasant, she dramatizes the story "just enough" but not so much you feel the performance is "affected," and you really feel you're lucky enough to be sitting in a room somewhere while the author reads to just you. I used to be an "anti-book on tape" snob, thinking that people should "read" books, not listen to them. But I am such a convert now, and think that some books just beg to be oral stories. I think this is one of them.
Is the review positive or negative?
