The Poisonwood Bible

Don't miss this. Especially if you read it, don't miss it.

All I can say is this was magnificent, in the end.

Remember that time you read “Life of Pi”? The laborious feelings of confusion and a beleagred obligation to learn what the fuss was about...only to be brought into understanding the way a cat of ninetails bites into the meaty part of your soul...remember that? This book does just that.

The writing was superb and nuanced. The characters were dense and relatable. The storyline both lulled you to sleep and moved you to near weeping in cycles.

I don't know what else to say. It's a journey not to be taken lightly. It's a pathway not to be walked by the shallow and nearsighted. Rather this story should be taken by those who will unravel its complexity and bathe in its subtleties. Certainly, this does not describe me. I was merely able to witness the limits of my depth through this brilliant tale.
