Book Reviews of Keeping Faith
Book Review: Eh...
Summary: 3 Stars
While I enjoy (greatly) Picoult's ability to make the reader see "the other side" of situations, I can't say that I'm a huge fan of her writing. I feel that she takes the easy way out when it comes to developing her central characters here. For example, I had a really difficult time getting through the beginning of the book -- Mariah had me wanting to put the book down and never pick it back up. The only word that kept going through my mind was "pathetic". It's as if the author wanted to draw her in the most extreme light possible so that her transformation throughout the novel would seem all the more amazing. If anything it had me wanting to shake the woman, were she real. I was literally uncomfortable while reading about her because I disliked her so much, to the point of disappointment that the author couldn't take the time to make her character a bit more believable and less over-the-top. I mean, going to far as to have her rubbing the dent in the carpet out with her sneaker at her mother's house? Okay, I get it Jodi, she's high-strung and afraid of anything being less than perfect. You don't have to beat me over the head...Book Review: Good Book Club choice
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book! The characters were all well developed and the subject was perfect for a group discussion. My book club chose this book to read and although not everyone in the club liked the book, we all had plenty to say about the subject matter and the style of the author. She knows how to get her readers to really remember the characters, even though she had so many, she went in depth with each one.

Book Review: Good, but not her best
Summary: 4 Stars
As a huge Jodi Piccoult fan, I was a little disappointed in this book. There was not the suspense that most of her novels involve and there was no surprise ending. It was well written, as usual, but it just wasn't my favorite.Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I just "discovered" Jodi Picoult and I have not read anything that I found undesirable. She is a great author.
