Written beautifully with lots of humor although I found it a sad story of a family. A little too philosophical at the end.

I loved this book so much for the depth of human emotion and struggle of the Price clan. Mother and the daughters each left an indelible mark on their world that will live on with me. Must read!

A rich experience of Africa, the failure of American imperialism and the arrogance of white people, narrated by a mother and her four daughters. Brilliant and disturbing. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

Fictional book but based on true history and politics. A great read. Very long!

Riveting. Early portions of the book were amazing. Last couple sections moved a bit slower but overall quite amazing!

Excellent, thought provoking book. Beautiful story about life, family, and compromise. Sad in may ways but the author has a comical way of presenting tragedy through the eyes of many different personalities one of the best books I have ever read!

By far one of the best books I’ve ever read. And one of the only books I again and again over the transom.

In 1998 I read The Poisonwood Bible as a wife and mother of young children. I just finished an almost mystical re-read, possibly as a completely different person now: a grandmother and a divorced woman (who recognized, finally, what abuse really is). Rarely will I read a book again as there are too many great books, too little time. I’ve surprised myself with my resolve to reconnect with favorites by going back to Barbara Kingsolver’s books, this is the fourth one and I feel compelled to recommend it as something very special to experience. The emotional and intellectual depth of this beautiful yet terrifying book is astonishing... reading it again on my iPad with the ability to immediately reference the time and place and politics was certainly something that added depth to the experience. I can honestly say this is my favorite book of all I’ve read; please allow me to recommend it to read once again and experience with new eyes.

A must read.

This is one of my all time favorite books! I have read it more than once and highlighted so many lines. Love the perspective of chapters being written by each daughter and the haunting early chapter from the mother.
