woah, eww, and what did I just read? I think I liked it? Everything that is happening in this book is confusing. I honestly have no idea who this book would be appealing to. It is vulgar and vile, but also hilarious. The explicit language and constant mentioning of being horny because of so many different things was just too much for me. The sci-fic aspect was the coolest part with giant grasshoppper/praying mantis-type bugs taking over the world.

Blimey, this series gets both more readable and deeper in my reading of it. Whilst having absolutely no faith or religious inclination, I'm contemplating prayer and intention throughout my times reading these.
Woven with determined realism alongside beautiful love, with a backdrop of Gilead and Lila's life, we read about their meeting and subsequent marriage and live.
One left to read...

BkClubCare Isn‘t this series wonderful? Glad you are enjoying it. I found the books meaningful. 🤗 1w

Much more readable than Gilead, maybe the female narrator? I liked her relationship with her family and felt such sympathy for her but also for Jack. Such a sorrowful character and in such hard times.
I have the next one ready to go...

I resolved to read the four books in this series and finished this today. It's been a bit of a slog, if I'm honest. Whilst the writing flows and reads well, there is much repetition and the theological elements are rather deep.
I liked the local community outlook and the way of telling not just a personal history but that of place.

Karisimo I felt the same! 1mo
BarbaraJean I read this for a book club once, and one of the others in the group called this “the slowest book I‘ve ever loved” 😂 1mo
charl08 Yeah same. Not for me. 1mo

I came across this poem about Ritchie Valens, and wanted to share on the anniversary of "the day the music died."
