BRAVO.Velma TownsOxford, AL I was not sure who to feel sympathy for or who to be blame. This was a great book. I felt as if I was one of the characters. Jodi Picoult is a wonderful writer and catches the soul of her characters.
Her scenes and storylines are delicious. Every one of them becomes a friend or acquaintance. To say I am a fan is putting it mildly.I'm so glad my sister introduced me to Jodi and I now recommend her work to everyone.I appreciate this opportunity to acknowledge my enthusiasm for this extremely talented author.Irene I received this novel in the time expected and am looking forward to reading it along with the other Jodi Picoult novels I have purchased. I am intrigued by Jodi's voice and the way she presents her characters. I savor every word and nuance long after I've read the book.
I found this book depressing and the characters in it so self-absorbed that it was hard to have empathy for any of them.
She comes up with interesting, contemporary plots that could result in very good books in the hands of a skillful author.I doubt I'll ever read another of her books. If if was a book, I would have put it down long ago. The next two - can't remember the names - I couldn't finish because they were written in such a boring style.I downloaded this one to my MP3 player and continue to slog away at it. I'm having trouble concentrating, though, because I really don't care what happens with these people.I guess I just do not care for this author. This is my 4th book by this author. I must have liked the first one well enough to read another. But I only have one or two more parts, so I will finish.
Her books are always testing the waters of the soul and making me wonder about myself. Jodi only gets better with time and I am always thankful for her work. Once again Jodi Picoult hit her mark. This one hit close to home with the questions it brings about.how would I react.
