Poisonwood Bible  — 

I was forced to read this for a high school AP english class, however, I don't think I would have ever enjoyed it if I read it on my own. I found the whole book incredibly boring and not entertaining in the least. The only reason that I was able to make it through the book was the alternating point of views between all the female characters as each chapter progressed. There was no one character that I enjoyed reading more than another because I found the whole book incredibly dry and un-interesting. I would highly NOT recommend this book to anyone and do not understand why it was one of Oprah's book club books.

I completely agree. I have to read it as a Summer assignment, so if it weren't bad enough i have to read it but during MY summer and i have waited until the last minute. the ideas in the book are alright i just don't think the book was written the right way. in my opinion, a good book is NEVER a boring one and this book is definitely the most boring book i've ever picked up.
