by KokoroRyu The PosoinWood Bible worth the Detour.
I took it off the shelves, and discouragingly eyed the thickness of the volume. But when I started reading it, I couldn't quite put it down. Albeit a slow and confusing beginning, it incites you to read more, and it manages to hold your interest throughout the whole story.
I picked up many symbols and many foreshadowings of things to come, and I found that the different point of views were excellently written, in a way that made you think about whose point of view you were reading. But I found, however, as much as the female characters were full of life and complex and interesting, the men were like cartoons, very stereotypical and sometimes just ridiculously so. But I loved it overall.
I recommend it very much to anyone who enjoys a good book.

I am going to be a senior in high school this upcoming year and had to read The Poisonwood Bible. I am almost finished reading it, but not quite done yet. The beginning was slightly discouraging and throughout the book, there were a few down parts where nothing much was really happening, but overall I have found it to be a very good book. I suggest you have some interest to really getting into though, it was fairly challenging.

Thought provoking. The lengths countries can go to in keeping the wealth for themselves at the expense of the people of another country. Missionary work? Got to wonder if people we know who are doing just that, is it possilble wealth is a factor?
