Helpful Score: 2
I loved Gilead. It's a gentle, character driven book - those looking for thrilling plot twists are going to be disappointed. But I fell in love with the characters, and with the gorgeous wordsmithing of Marilynne Robinson.
The story of the Rev. John Ames is the story of a life well lived, and of the beauty of a simple, practical faith. I loved Gilead so much that I ended up giving it as presents to several of my friends for Christmas. That this book won the Pulitzer Prize is no accident - I have rarely read more beautiful prose.
