Pigs in Heaven (Abridged) Audiobook

" liked it better than its prequel "

" Beautiful handling of complex issues. I was a little less than thrilled at how tightly everything was tied up in the end, it just didn't ring true. But a good book for those who like happy endings, and a little symbolic/metaphoric content. "

" This was the first one of king solvers that I read, and it is still my favorite "

" An enjoyable book with lovable characters. Sequel to "Bean Trees" "

" I haven't reached any conclusions yet about this book other than I'm not sure if I would recommend it. It wasn't too fun to read but I have a feeling I'll be thinking about it's themes for awhile. Abuse, the welfare system, prejudice, gender roles, family units, adoption, and community values. A gritty tale, there are some language and scenes that I would not recommend for children. "

" Cont. of Bean Trees. "

" a fun story, fairly light, and wrapped up a bit hastily...but many relateable characters, and quirky situations. very interesting perspective on the Cherokee Nation... "

" I love the women in this book. It's not often you get to read a novel filled with women you can respect and look up to. However, the plot was pretty contrived and about 2/3rds in you knew exactly how it was going to end. "

" A fun read, quirky in style and engaging in story. "

" I loved both books, The Bean Trees and Pigs in Heaven. I felt like I was part of the story. Barbara Kingsolver has a great way of bringing her readers into the story. "

" I read it this past year as a freshman. I didn't think that I would ever finish it because I didn't like it at first, but I read it all and I really did like it. "

" Lighter read, and I believe a sequel to an earlier story. The sequel is not as strong as the first book, but I was happy the story hadn't ended just yet... "

" What can I say. Loved it. Sad to see it end. "

" In the end, though I thought the sentences were amazing and the story unfolded very well, I didn't really connect much with the actual tale. So A+ for storytelling, meh on the story. "

" excellent book . excellent author. i laughed / i cried / i nodded in agreement several times / i LOVED it. "

" Bonus Book - July 2006 "

" I love a sequel, especially if you like the characters. Just a little bit of language in this book, but not too bad. The message of how to accept people with different backgrounds was good and not to preachy. "

" 3.75 - good but I didn't like it as much as The Bean Trees. Took me a while to get invested in it. "

" I picked this up because of the author's name not realizing it was the sequel to The Bean Trees. This had interesting information on the Cherokee Nation. I thought the very end was a bit trite, but overall the book was very good. "

" Light fiction, easily readable. "

" Another excellent story by Kingsolver! "

" Another wonderful story from a terrific storyteller. Read "The Bean Trees" first, then "Pigs in Heaven." "

" i didn't realize this was a continuation of the bean trees. i love that book and quite liked this one as well. "

" I had no idea there was a sequel to The Bean Trees - one of my all time favorite books. So exciting! This was really well done, I loved it. "

" Great sequel to The Bean Trees... it's nice that Kingsolver addressed the whole person/relationship issues in this follow-up. "

" Read aloud with Geoff. I've enjoyed the language and attitude conveyed in both books that i've read by this author. The book doesn't seem to have left a lasting, haunting impression in my head, but I enjoyed the process of reading it. "

" I've not read Kingsolver for several years, and forgot how great she is. Her writing is so good, and so effortless to read. Enjoyable and enriching all at the same time! This was a great story. "

" I just liked that it was realistic and that it showed there's two sides (or more) to every story. "

" Read it for a class. Wasn't my favorite. "

" A ood read as always by Barbara Kingsolver. "

" Kingsolver's writing is amazing. The story line, plot, diction, voice, etc... everything is amazing. "

" Good story--learned a lot about the Cherokee Naton. "

" An enjoyable book with lovable characters. Sequel to "Bean Trees" "

" I loved Pigs in Heaven, The Bean Trees and Animal Dreams. These are books I reread. The characters became my friends. Made me wish I belonged to a "tribe". "

" "Anybody can bet worked up, if they have the intention. It's peacefulness that is hard to come by on purpose."A small amount of Cherokee history involved in this story "

" I just liked that it was realistic and that it showed there's two sides (or more) to every story. "

" Another book for my class, but it was great. I love Barbara Kingsolver, she is one of my favorite authors!!! "

" A lovely portrait of modern Native American stereotypes, family, and misconceptions. Beautifully worded, a fast and delightful read. "
