Title: Am I crazy? I just don&#65533;t get it.
Review: I have read all of Barbara Kingsolver's books and her best have changed my life. She makes it look easy. Unfortunately, this book grated on my nerves like a sermon that wouldn't quit. I didn't like any of the characters, except maybe Lusa Landowski. All of them were basically two-dimensional megaphones for the message of saving the environment. I believe wholeheartedly about saving the environment, but every page seemed like an onslaught of lecturing. In between the lectures, the characters were minutely developed, and the storylines seemed to hanging together by a thread. The title of this book should have been Preaching to the Converted. For a great and moving story, with political undertones, read Kingsolver's Animal Dreams. She can do better.
