Really enjoy Barbara Kingsolver's novels. Should say LOVE her prose and characters and detail. Everything! My fave book that got me started on Kingsolver was The infamous Poisonwood Bible.
This novel is very very well written! ...more

I have read 2 books by Kingsolver: The Poisonwood Bible and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, and I liked both, so I was expecting a lot more. This book has very little plot. NOTHING happens, in the 400+ pages. The most of it is about farming (boring!) and natural habitats. I am not that into biology, so I did not enjoy it much. The sex scenes were boring. So I was not impressed.
