Title: BORING
Review: After I read and loved Poisonwood, I was anxious to read another Barbara Kingsolver book. This choice was a huge mistake. I listened to the audio version and while Barbara Kingsolver did a good job with the narration, more often than not, it lulled me to sleep. It should have been subtitled: Ecology 101! The chapters involving Luca were the only ones I truly enjoyed. About one third of the way through the book, I just started to skip the chapters about Deanna -- enough is enough with the preachiness -- I was totally bored with her and didn't care a bit what happened to her. It would have been more exciting if the coyotes attacked her!I felt that I was left hanging regarding what happened with the children and Garnett. At least that storyline had potential. This book may have been much more interesting if it were about 300 pages shorter!
