Prodigal Summer
by Barbara Kingsolver
I love Barbara Kingsolver. The Poisonwood Bible and Small Wonders are definitely sitting on my favorites pile. I tried several times to read this book and, much as I dislike not finishing what I've started, I can't read this. The detailed scenes feel like species name-dropping, and I can't identify with the characters I've met so far. They just don't seem real enough, but more of an uncomfortable stereotype. I have many other books I want to read, so I think I will finally give up on this one.
