Book Review of State of Wonder

State of Wonder
State of Wonder
Author: Ann Patchett
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
Helpful Score: 1


I have read glowing book reviews of Ann Patchett's STATE OF WONDER as well as negative reader reviews. I'm somewhere in between. I did feel truly transported to the Amazon by the author. I liked the protagonist Marina and her relationship with the native, Easter. Annick Swenson was a wonderfully eccentric scientist. But, parts of the story were unbelievable. Overall, a worthwhile read.
