cpool89 's review for:

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
2.0
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I didn’t like it. I would have DNFed if I hadn’t been reading for the Bookclub that I run. I only found 1 of the characters to be slightly likable. All of the others were just bad. Nothing redeemable. 
Part of the reason I didn’t like the book was because I wanted more insight from the Congolese people. If the book had been about them and their reactions to the family I probably would have enjoyed it more. 

Overall, it wasn’t for me and it wasn’t what I was looking for in a book that was set in the Congo.
