Title: is this the same person who wrote the poisonwood bible?
Review: I've loved Kingsolver's work for years... Animal Dreams and The Poisonwood Bible really struck me with their rich language and beautiful passages.Prodigal Summer, on the other hand... ugh. I only got about ten pages in and had to quit. I am biased; I'll admit that. Intensive nature descriptions bore me to tears. I love the outdoors, but I'd rather go outside and look at a tree than read about one. Therefore, I was sent into blahsville reading the nature prose. The dialogue also felt awkward and I was given the uneasy feeling i had stumbled into some kind of nature/cheesy romance story. So I stopped reading.I would suggest you read any of Kingsolver's other novels. If you want fun read The Bean Trees, if you want serious and enriching read The Poisonwood Bible.
