6/28/2023 0 Comments Animal dreams book reviewSo it wasn't with a lot of excitement that I approached Kingsolver's second novel.Ĭodi Noline thought she'd left Grace, Arizona once and for all when she and her little sister Hallie escaped and went away to college. I had read one Kingsolver book at that point- The Bean Trees -and, while I appreciated parts of it, my overall reaction was pretty lackluster. One of the most memorable of these times happened several years ago when a good friend of mine on Readerville was talking about what a superb novel Barbara Kingsolver 's Animal Dreams was. It's almost always a rewarding experience. And because I have such tender feelings for certain books, I want to have read the books others feel the same way about. Maybe you can't remember a time when you hadn't read and loved that book, those characters. Maybe you own more than one copy so that if you lend one out you've still got a spare.just in case. I think this is mostly because I know what it means to care so much about a book you have to have it nearby at all times. It generally doesn't matter what genre or style of book it is. When someone tells me a certain book is one of the books of their life, I get this pressing urge to run out and secure a copy. I'm a sucker for reading other people's favorite books of all time.
