That being said, I'm currently reading her book, The Poisonwood Bible, and really enjoying it so I will probably give this one a shot too...someday. ;O)<br /><br />Michelle Stockard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572227726980569386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-10057944185301432422013-07-01T22:33:22.515-05:002013-07-01T22:33:22.515-05:00I'm a Kingsolver fan but I'll admit that I...I'm a Kingsolver fan but I'll admit that I find her books to be uneven.

I found the first several chapters a bit tough to get into. I found myself wondering if I would ever like Dellarobia or find her story interesting.<br /><br />However, the story picks up steam and I ended up being blown away by the ending.<br /><br />Kingsolver is one of my favorite living authors--Prodigal Summer and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle are among my favorite books.<br /><br />Too bad this didn't work for you.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-56877466958955960292013-06-29T16:33:59.400-05:002013-06-29T16:33:59.400-05:00Don't you hate when that happens?

Hate that feeling.<br /><br />I've only ever read a few pages of Kingsolver so I'm kind of with you. Though she is extremely popular, I've never been able to get with the program. <br /><br />You gave it a shot though, that's what counts, Ryan. You did your best.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-55117684858913171142013-06-28T18:29:31.671-05:002013-06-28T18:29:31.671-05:00Not every book works for every reader, so I can un...Not every book works for every reader, so I can understand that you didn't connect with this one Ryan.

We all have different tastes so finding out why this didn't work for you gives me a lot of information. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not this is one for me.
