great YA novel, I loved it...by Eddie, age 12

Revisado: 08-20-12

Any additional comments?

It was a great book. After reading the Gregor series, where they live in underground colonies, I was a little sick of that concept. Still, I enjoyed Enclave (though they live in enclaves, also underground). All the characters had their own interesting back stories, which was really fun to listen to. The narrator had a very squeaky voice that got annoying.

Beautiful Story of Love and Loss

Revisado: 08-13-12

Any additional comments?

I was really quiet surprised to read some of the reviews of this beautiful and mesmerizing book. First of all, let me say that I love it when writer’s read their own books and Barbara Kingsolver is no exception. She has a fabulous voice and I loved her characterizations and intonations. They are what the writer intended them to be.This is the story of a life. It flows from childhood to adulthood with twists and turns and interesting historical events. This is not a straight-forward story, this story requires the listener to let go and allow themselves to be guided through the journey without needing to know the end. I found it funny and sweet; sad and still wonderfully hopeful. There are wonderful characters, but I don’t want to spoil a thing. Kingsolver’s writing is lush and beautiful, full of metaphors and wonderful turns of phrases. She is a dealer in words, and she treats them as the valuable commodity that they are.

What a surprise

Revisado: 07-03-12

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

So some of this book is a bit boring and some of the science stuff lost me, but she also has a wonderful way of making certain things interesting. How do they go to the bathroom in space and what do they talk about to control. I especially enjoyed telling my 12 year old son and his friends about vomiting in space and other gross details that they loved. I found it fascinating and surprising.

What made the experience of listening to Elegance of the Hedgehog the most enjoyable?

This is an interesting book. Like some of the other readers here, it took me a while to get into the story. There is a lot of thoughtful descriptions of class differences and some pondering on life and philosophy. These are kind of interesting, though I often drifted...the ending did make up for it, though. I really liked the young girl and her thoughts and observations. In the end, I was very glad that I finished the book. It has stayed with me. Another book of strong, independent women with interesting opinions who think for themselves.
