Book Reviews of The Poisonwood Bible: A Novel
Book Review: "Gripping story of growing up and finding meaning in life"
Summary: 5 Stars
A masterpiece of literary craft and social conscience. A well-researched and biting critique of American imperialism in Africa in the 1950s and '60s, and a matching parable of religion at its worst (and best, thanks to Brother Fowles), all rolled into a gripping story of growing up and finding meaning in life. The multiple first-person structure (wonderfully easy to follow) is pure writer's genius. (I fell in love with Adah!)
