Flight Behavior

Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver  433 pp.

Linda's review of this book pretty much says it all. I was also irked by the portrayal of the small town residents. The unwarranted premise that lack of formal education = dumb played out through much of the story. The tale of the  butterflies' plight was an effective way to get across the message about climate change. However, the author could have delivered the message as well as the story of Dellarobia and her family in a shorter book. This one went on too long and I couldn't wait for it to end.
