The Bean Trees : A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful!!
Review: I read this book for a school project I will be doing. The title of the book, didn't exactly draw me in, so to speak, I was reluctant to reading it, especially after the first chapter. But as you read through the book the farther along you get, the more you realize how much you start relating to Taylor and how wonderful Barbara Kingsolver is as a writer. Kingsolver's writing style is thourghly enjoyable. She paints a picture in your mind as you read thorugh her 'golden nuggets'. I loved this book and would reccommend this book to everyone, it is wonderful!~

Summary: This book is terrific!!
Review: The Bean Trees is an awesome book. When I first heard if the book I thought it sounded dumb. My friend keep telling me how great it was so I decided I would give it a try. I was hooked from the first page. Once you start reading this book you never want to put it down. I now plan on reading more books by Barbara Kingsolver. It's a great book.

Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: Even if this book title is a little bit not appealing, this book is awsome... I just got done reading it for a english class that I have at school... I recomend it to anybody that is a christian and going through hard troubles... This book alludes to the bible very much and since I'm not a person that will sit down and read when I'm bored this give the book more of a meaning to me.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This book is not exactly exhillarating, but it hits home for those of you who know the struggles of life just handing you something and telling you to deal with it.

Rating:
Summary: a touching story of a not-so-typical family
Review: This was my first Kingsolver novel and I'm sure it won't be my last. I didn't like the first chapter but after that I was sold. I loved the down-to-earth charachters and the different relationships (especially Taylor and Turtle and Taylor and Estevan). The story shows that your "family" does not necessarily have to be blood relations but can consist of those you care for and are close to. Highly recommend this one!!!

Rating:
Summary: One of the most enjoyable books ever read!
Review: The author captures your heart with this warm, endearing story. It took me only two days to finish reading as I did not want to put it down! You fall madly in love with all the characters! I recommend it along with all her other books!

Summary: School Book I was forced to read
Review: Well I had to read this novel for English 30 class, and I can honestly say it's not that bad, boring start though. Otherwise this book is interesting and for once is actually a success story than the normal tragidies we usually read....and the best part being there are female protagonists.

Summary: Read this book if you have a soft spot in your heart
Review: I discovered Barbara Kingsolver by accident at the local library and have read all her books. My only regret is that she had not written even more!!
