| 1. |  | Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $10.17 Customer Review:  For starters, this is not BK's most well written book. However, I have traveled with her (metaphorically) by way of her novels, appearance on NOW as well as a journey of a family, so I found it to be delightful. I also purchased this book in the autumn of the year and read a bit from her... |

| 2. |  | The Poisonwood Bible: A Novel (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $10.17 Customer Review:  This book might not have been bad. The idea of a missionary family (from the Jim Crow South, no less)moving to Africa had its merits. The idea of narrating from five different perspectives was original and might have been pulled off. Adah was a fairly interesting, if unrealistic and unsympathetic,... |

| 3. |  | Prodigal Summer: A Novel from Harper Perennial Price: $10.17 Customer Review:  As I write this, we're heading into winter--a perfect time to read this novel and then ruminate on what your own place is in our global ecosystem. I have to admit a bias to Kingsolver's writing; she understands people and what motivates them. The Bean Trees, Animal Dreams, and Pigs in Heaven are... |

| 7. |  | Pigs in Heaven from Harper Perennial Price: $11.20 Customer Review: In Pigs in Heaven, Barbara Kingsolver breaks the norms of classical or even contemporary novels by creating a complex story with no real hero or true villain. The talk can be over main characters but not one single, major persona that is in the very limelight. The extensive use of symbolism in this... |

| 9. |  | The Poisonwood Bible: A Novel (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $11.53 Customer Review:  For me, *The Poisonwood Bible* could have been on top of my personal list as an all-time classic. Alas! It does not. I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of this novel. In 1959, Nathan Price, a fire-and-brimstone Baptist envangelist/missionary, uprooted his Georgian family and takes them halfway... |

| 10. |  | High Tide in Tucson: Essays from Now or Never from Harper Perennial Price: $11.86 Customer Review: The title story in this collection is that of a stowaway hermit crab that Kingsolver inadvertently carried from the Bahamas to her home in Tucson in a collection of shells she had collected for her young daughter. As she explains, "If you ask me, when something extraordinary shows up in your life in... |

| 11. | [no image] | THE BEAN TREES from Harper Collins Customer Review: Barbara Kingsolver became a household name with her publication of the Oprah book club bestseller The Poisonwood Bible. Yet Kingsolver had been writing and authoring great novels long before she was discovered by Oprah. The Bean Tree is one of many works by Kingsolver that highlight her talent for... |

| 12. |  | Homeland: And Other Stories from Buccaneer Books Price: $15.16 Customer Review: Kingsolver, who has never written anything that hasn't awed me, manages to capture much of the very essence of the human existence in our culturally and socially backward world (and country). These stories, however, are not nearly as powerful and earth-moving for me as her novels (Prodigal Summer,... |

| 13. |  | The Essential Agrarian Reader: The Future of Culture, Community, and the Land from Shoemaker & Hoard Price: $11.53 Customer Review: I'm only about half way through but I think it's okay. Maybe a bit self-satisified. My Dad from Massachsetts, much more conservative, hated it and found it unreadable. He particularly complained about the article on growing food on the commons; it was in Weston, MA - one of the richest towns in a... |

| 14. |  | Another America / Otra América from Seal Press Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Poems are like songs. And like songs, they should be heard. Listening to Barbara Kingsolver's soothing, lilting voice recite these personal and brilliant poems in the audio version of "Another America" made a long day's drive through the desert a deep and meaningful experience. Her opening... |

| 18. |  | Holding the Line: Women in the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983 (ILR Press books) from Cornell University Press Price: $17.05 Customer Review: I could hardly believe what I read. It's is amazing how this "novel" is treated as a serious work, but it is merely a story, loosely based on the events. Worst of all, it is based completely on angry spiteful stories. She makes these people out to be heroes, but she ignores those that brought their... |

| 19. |  | The Complete Fiction: The Bean Trees, Homeland, Animal Dreams, Pigs in Heaven from Harper Perennial Customer Review: I found that this particular piece was overly depressing. The depth in description of a long, desolate, flat desert is far greater than the typical human brain can endure. Besides being virtually plotless this novel magnifies ethnic struggles in American society to an extreme which disgusts me... |
