What readers think of The Poisonwood Bible, plus links to write your own review.

I thought the book was well written and had many well thought out underlying themes that we can all learn from. However, I think she overstepped the boundary with her story. I don't agree with her views on America, the government, and Americans in general. She has shamed the entire country by rejecting its citizens in this book. This book only contributes to the stereotype of Americas that is prevalent around the world. Very few Americans are like Nathan and the American government is not as power hungary and greedy as portrayed in this book. It is completely acceptable for Kingsolver to believe this because I believe in freedom of expression, however, I think she should move to France!

OMG it is a horrible book... i had to read it for school --don't waste your time.. i really didn't enjoy it..

Garbage. When will people learn to think on their own?

i hate this book its horrible and depressing i had to read it for a summer reading project and i hate it. nothing goes right for the family and too many tragedies occur. im a freshman and i couldn't read the book after 4 in the afternoon it was so disturbing i couldn't sleep if i read it any later. i am also filing a complaint with the school to remove this book from their curriculum.

I'm sorry some people out there that actually enjoy reading a 600 page book that follows a thin plot line and feels like fingernails on a chalkboard. Personally i would rather use the book to give myself papercuts.

I hate this book!

This book was hard to read and was hard to follow. I did not enjoy this book whatsoever. Don't buy it...it isn't worth it.
