Book Review of State of Wonder

State of Wonder
junie avatar reviewed on + 630 more book reviews


After all the rave reviews, I am in the minority since I didn't like this book. Parts were interesting and I did finish it, but it was too unrealistic to me. Developing a fertility drug so women can get pregnant in their seventies!!! Really??

Except for the elusive Dr. Swenson, I didn't like the characters. Certainly not Dr Marina Singh, a drab, passive research doctor and her weird relationship with Mr. Fox, the head of the research company she works for. I hated the ending, totally unnecessary and uncalled for!
