Book Reviews of the The Poisonwood Bible: A Novel
Customer Review: Painful and Boring
Summary: 1 Stars
Every Oprah book I've purchased has been a great disappointment and this is no exception. My friend begged me to read this and the story seemed compelling.
At first I enjoyed the alternating viewpoints amongst the five women. After awhile it became irritating. There is suffering throughout the whole book and no redeeming aspects at all. I did muddle through the whole book thinking it would get better but it only got more boring. I felt no connection to the characters at all.
I agree with others and found Kingsolvers depiction of the "evil white people" offensive. Just my two cents.
