kerry reviewed State of Wonder by Ann Patchett
Review of 'State of Wonder' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
The last quarter of the book merits 4 stars.
Through parts of this book, I felt like Marina wandering down the river and through the jungle. Where are we going? Just as Marina had to trust people she meets along the way, I had to trust Ann Patchett. The book did throw me a few surprises even after telegraphing a few events. (When Marina put her global cell phone into her checked luggage, I just knew that bag was going to get lost.)
Looking forward to discussion with book club!
