Title: Ecology 101
Review: I can see how Kingsolver's Ecology 101 course wrapped up in novel could be as thrilling as Atlas Shrugged to people for whom these ideas are brand spanking new. Already knowing this stuff made Prodigal Summer seem like a lot of heavy handed moralizing. I like Kingsolver, and appreciate what she tries to do with her writing. Well, I used to like Kingsolver, and what she tried to do with her writing. This book is just her thesis on ecology -- and what a hackneyed, cliche-wridden, at times misleading and downright inaccurate it is. I've had it with Kingsolver, and that's after loving some of her earlier works.
