Unabridged Audiobook
I wanted to love this book, and many of Kingsolver's political and social beliefs mirror my own, but unfortunately I just never connected with the characters or the story. I kept waiting to get to IT, and suddenly the book was over.
The book held my interest, although the characters were sometimes annoying. The author’s attempts at accents were painful to listen to.
I like Kingsolver overall, but this was a bit hard to listen to because she seemed to dither and dally instead of getting to the point. I thought I would enjoy hearng the author narrate, but it did not add any pleasure to the story line.
I really enjoyed the back and forth of the two very interesting stories.
Excellent, thought-provoking book. It gave me a better understanding of the millennial generation and our relationships to possessions. What a treat!
excellent comparison of Thatcher Greenwood to our scientist's today trying to bring knowledge to ears that will not hear.
Good narration! It makes such a difference in how much I enjoy the book. Barbara Kingsolver is a good writer. The start of the story is a little slow but after awhile I was thoroughly engrossed. To the point where I have to force myself to get out of the car and stop listening when I get to my destination. I just noticed that Barbara Kingsolver IS the narrator - no wonder it is so well read!
Slow start but then couldn’t put it down.
Pure propaganda crap. Not the least bit of a hidden agenda. Insulting that they make it so obvious, like you just couldn’t “get it” if they didn’t. Waste of my time and money.
