Liked It “Barbara Kingsolver is a committed and intelligent environmentalist and this book has clear and insightful ideas on the conservation of our earth's valuable resources. She is also against war and I am also. I believe her work is important in our violent and greedy world.” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It “This a collection of essays which starts off with one dealing with 911. After reading "Three cups of tea" and seeing the whole issue from another very real, hands-on perspective, I just could not get into this book.” see full review » see other reviews » |

I've enjoyed her novels but she is a superb essayist.”
“Gorgeous, thoughtful essays written in the aftermath of 9/11--her search for beauty in the ashes.”

Yes | No“The fact that I almost universally agree with everything Kingsolver says just about guaranteed that I would like these essays and that's how it played out. She's an eloquent speaker and someone who really thinks about her place on the planet and her role as the world's citizen. How many people can say that? I particularly likes "A Fist in the Eye of God." Grade: A”

“A really interesting read, in the vein of Amy Tan's book also on my shelf. I particularly enjoyed hearing about her life and her passion for a lifestyle that leaves a small footprint.”
