A review by lyntwhit
State of Wonder by Ann Patchett

5.0

Wow! Great book! I loved the voice of the protagonist and the pain-in-the-ass quality of Dr. Swenson. I kept wondering how the book would end - but I wasn't even close in my guessing. At first the book reminded me of The Mosquito Coast, that I'd read years ago. In the atmosphere and emotional decriptions of the Amazon this book was similar, but that's about it. This novel has many things happening on so many different levels. Best book I've read this summer!
