Title: Did nothing for me-- this isn't important literature.
Review: I know many people who LOVE Kingsolver, so I decided to take a chance. I hated Animal Dreams, but I thought it would be unfair to judge the author on the basis of one novel, so I read Bean Trees too. My opinion didn't change. I usually read classics or avant-garde literature, and Kingsolver just pales in comparison. She writes faux-important stories for people who want to feel like they've done something magnificent just by reading. Expect a lot more white people trying to take Polaroids at pow-wows thanks to Kingsolver.
