A review by mbpartlow
State of Wonder by Ann Patchett

4.0

The only thing that made this a 4 instead of a 5 was a tiny thread left dangling at the ending.

Beautiful writing. Took me a little to get into this book, but the woman's travels to the Amazon were described in amazing detail, especially the unreality of the changing circumstances.

I think this is the best book I've read by Patchett so far. Really liked Bel Canto, and Patron Saint of Liars was OK. This one has more snap. Can't wait to recommend to my book group.
