I got the opportunity, as a senior in high school, to read the Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver and I wish I hadn't taken the opportunity because I completely disliked this book. The book is told through Nathan Price's four daughters eyes and although they all have different personalities and explain their views in different ways it still is a very slow read and hard to understand at times. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get into it. This novel does give great detail and gives a perfect visual of how life was in the Congo in 1959, but this doesn't cover up for the slow read. I don't recommend this book for anyone who just wants to pass the time but I would recommend it to someone who wanted to learn about Africa and its' culture because Barbara Kingsolver describes it perfectly. Overall I give this book two out of the five stars.
