| 1. |  | Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
I really wanted to like this book. I agree with the author in that as a culture we've clearly gotten out of touch with living off the land and have become a fast food society. But I struggled to even get through the first chapter. The tone of the book is much too preachy and pretentious giving it a... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Certainly a great book exposing how one culture whether miles apart or continents apart do not understand one another. I have a son who has an austism spectrum disorder, and although this book is not even close to anything to do with autism or any other kind of disability...this book somehow made me... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
There are 443 reviews of this book as I post review number 444. "Prodigal Summer" is averaging four stars at this point and I'd give it four, too. I'm not a Kingsolver completist; I've only read "Poisonwood Bible" (loved it) and "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle," which was brilliant. With "Prodigal," I'd... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 7. |  | Pigs in Heaven
from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
In Pigs in Heaven, Barbara Kingsolver breaks the norms of classical or even contemporary novels by creating a complex story with no real hero or true villain. The talk can be over main characters but not one single, major persona that is in the very limelight. The extensive use of symbolism in this... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

For me, *The Poisonwood Bible* could have been on top of my personal list as an all-time classic. Alas! It does not.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of this novel. In 1959, Nathan Price, a fire-and-brimstone Baptist envangelist/missionary, uprooted his Georgian family and takes them halfway... more info | 3.0 / 5.0
