Book Review of Prodigal Summer

Prodigal Summer
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


Although I enjoyed others of Kingsolver's books, I found these characters to be overly contrived to represent opposing viewpoints of human relationships with the natural world. The conversations and inner thoughts of the characters are tedious and repetitive. The characters are flawed and neurotic with not not enough redeeming qualities to be likable. The story is not interesting enough to support the dialogs.
