I recently have finished the novel “The Poisonwood Bible,” and I have to say that it has to be the best book I have ever read. Set in the 1950s, “The Poisonwood Bible” follows the unusual story of a Christian preacher, his wife and their five girls. The preacher, a fiery, passionate man, decides to move to the Belgian Congo for missionary work. While it seems to be a picture perfect scenario, the family faces countless problems and learns that things aren’t always what they seem.
The novel is full of colorful details (about what) and imagery (such as). The author switches off the character’s different point of views (explain with examples), fully grasping the entire story. Each character has a unique voice and personality (example?). 
Why is this book one of my favorites? I can answer that question easily with confidence: the style. With the different perspectives from the characters, the reader truly gets an idea of the storyline from all angles. I’m somewhat of an English-nerd, and I have a deep appreciation for literature. When I find a book like “The Poisonwood Bible,” I get excited.
Typically, “The Poisonwood Bible” is required for seniors to read in AP Literature, but I would recommend this book to any avid reader looking for a long, quality book.
