Commentary To Books The Bean Trees: Animal Dreams ; Pigs In Heaven

It's easy to see why The Bean Trees kicked off Barbara Kingsolver's literary career. I loved this novel when I first read it in my twenties. Tough and clear-headed Taylor Greer, the protagonist, made me want to be just like her at a time when I wasn't sure what to do with my life or how to go about living it. And Turtle, the little girl she finds on her journey from Kentucky to Arizona, stole my heart. It's a small book but so rich with feeling and juicy with character and filled with all the good things that make you remember a novel decades later with fondness.

I'm giving this book 4 stars, mainly because of the ending. Nothing really exciting happens throughout but in the end, this is a heart warming story with a sweet ending. Plus, it's interesting how this book deals with racism and immigration, issues we're still dealing with today despite the fact that it was written 28 years ago in 1988. Barbara Kingsolver is also one of my favorite authors so, I'm probably biased. Still, i enjoyed this book!

My outside reading book, The Bean Trees, should not be read by others. I did not like this book. Not only was I barely able to finish it due to boredom, it caused me to feel unhappy as well. The main character, Taylor, is given a baby at a random bar in Oklahoma. Later, it is revealed that the baby is actually a previously abused 3 year old. Taylor ends up adopting her at the end of the book. Next, at the store where Taylor ends up working, Jesus Is Lord Used Tires, two illegal immigrants live

Made me sad, made me think. Made me hopeful, filled me with joy, made me cry. Grand summary. Fabulous fun read. This novel speaks to the heart of our current Mexican/Central/South American crisis. I am almost sorry I read it two years ago. If I read it now I would become a militant or work in an illegal shelter. Maybe I should anyway. Ar

I love everything by Barbara Kingsolver and this books was no exception, beautiful writing and a beautiful story

The Bean Trees is an amazing book to read. The Bean Trees is a great book to read if you want to read about a journey. It is about a character who overcomes her expectations and creates a new path. Taylor the main character goes over obstacles and survives. She tasks risks and it is worth it.
