Loved half of the duel storylines. Listened to audiobook and Kingsolver is excellent but recommend 1.25x speed.

Thoroughly enjoyed the writing even though I did not really like the main characters.

Too convoluted a plot for me at this time. Made it through about a quarter of the book.

Not particularly believable and never really cared for any of the characters.

A fabulous addition to a series that has been continuously enjoyable.

Quirky and interesting premise. A fast and fun summer read. I just could go higher than two stars because the writing is so uneven.

A little too predictable but still compelling.

Could not force myself to finish this.

I haven't read P.D. James for a while. The methodical murder procedural was a lovely change. It is no wonder so many of her books are filmed.

Although climate change underpins the book, it was hearing Dellarobia's thoughts that hooked me. Kingsolver character development at its best.

Light quick read especially for cat lovers.

Prose so spare and large chunks of time are missing in the narrative yet a compelling read.

A novel about the transatlantic slave trade at the end of the 1700s. gripping and brutal. Historical aspects were the most interesting.



Not much to be happy about in this book. Grim.

Minneapolis author. Good summer read.

Slow. Plum is too inept.

Several essays were interesting or entertaining but not worth worth much more than an hour skimming.

Everyone who spends a significant amount of time on the computer should at least read chapters 9 and 10.

A fun read while traveling last weekend.

One of the best non-fiction works I have ever read.

Totally facinating read. So many applications for everyday living.

Finished this last nightand I am still thinking about it. Interestingly references the people from The Great Gatsby.
