I tried to read the Poisonwood Bible years ago and couldn’t get into it. I did love Animal, Vegetable, Miracle though. I’ve seen so many positive reviews of Lacuna, that I’m thinking about picking it up.

I got a lot out of ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MIRACLE, but I couldn’t quite manage to click with THE POISONWOOD BIBLE when I tried to read it several years ago. I’ll have to try again one of these days.

While I’ve heard of both of these books I didn’t realize that they were written by the same author. I’ve been wanting to read Animal Vegetable Mineral for a while but now I’ll add The Poisonwood Bible to my list as well

Thanks for visiting my blog. I’ve read Poisonwoood Bible and absolutely LOVED it. I’m listening to Lacuna right now (about 3/4 way through.) I’m so enjoying this audiobook. I don’t think I would EVER have stuck out the printed version of this book. The audiobook is read by the author. At first. I thought I might not be able to STAND her voice — but I’m in love with it now. If you start listening, you’ll know what I mean. I HIGHLY recommend the audio version if you do that at all. It’s been a wonderful experience. Enjoyed reading your reviews.

The Poisonwood Bible is incredible, isn’t it? I didn’t know what to expect and it really surprised me. It’s probably one of my favourite books this year. I’ve got The Lacuna but haven’t had a chance to read it yet. And I’ve heard that Prodigal Summer is very good too. Thanks for the link!
