Ky Fish kyfish — Now that I've finished: this book is positively inspiring. Now that I've read this and Michael Pollan's excellent book, _The_Omnivore's_Dilemma_, I'm on a quest to eat more organic, local food. I really enjoyed this book all the way through. The fact that it's been hard to get at my library (I had to put a hold on it) says that other people are enjoying it too. So far, very interesting. I always wonder when I read these books how much I can do. But the descriptions of botany and farm life are very interesting, the recipes seem like things I might want to try, and I love that all the members of Kingsolver's family contributed. (I wonder, did she somehow manage to eliminate the bratty-teen phase in her offspring? Did they never roll their eyes at her in disgust?) I'm enjoying this quite a bit and I made my first attempt to purchase all organic, local (OK, from somewhere in California) produce last night.

Julia Aspelin juliaaspelin — First read this in March 2007. Now re-reading it in Spanish for fun and practice.

Vanessa Burgess vanessaburgess — It was kind of hard to like the hero. If it was me, and my father was killed by the man that wanted me in his bed etc.... I'd run for the hills!

Nemezida Soul _emezida_oul — I thoroughly enjoyed Gaiman's earlier dark fantasy/magical-realism book Neverwhere. To be more specific, whilst I found the universe and characters thoroughly absorbing, and the story certainly gripped me, I wasn't bowled over by the writing. Nothing terrible, just that the overall dialogue and descriptive prose left me a little unsatisfied. In American Gods the writing is certainly not in the way of enjoying the book. The genre is again magical-realism, the story flowing one of those wonderful sci-fi "what if..." ideas. What if immigrants to the new world brought their ancient gods with them -- gods which have been long forgotten and whose place in the modern world has been usurped by the attractions of the new gods: Media, Technology et al. The protagonist is a gruff loner by the name of Shadow, hard boiled, bad ass and thoroughly likeable. The plot proceeds steadily, although in my opinion it didn't really rise to any great heights towards the end of the book, although Shadow alone is more than enough to keep you absorbed. I have a paperback copy that I'd be happy to loan.
