Summary: 4 Stars
Easy, entertaining book about a little girl's religious visions. It was interesting to read how the different religions interpreted her visions and how the general public became obsessed with her.Book Review: Interesting and thought Provoking
Summary: 5 Stars
Good fiction has a way of making you htink about issues in the context of the story and this novel succeeds in doing it.
It is a rather basically simple stroy, husband cheats, wifes has reaction, a child is born, husband cheats agin.
But it is not that simple. Mariah is the one who wound out that Colin is having an affair, and a child is also born, who just happens to be named Faith (maybe one thing that is a little too much, meaning the name in the context of the story?) And Faith sees things and exhibits ...well Faith. Sitgmata and other things that defy rather simple explaination to some degree.
It is all interwoven to make a very compelling story that is a very good readin experience. She is able to avoid the cliches and other easy outs in a novel that could have been not good if poorly executed, but instead does a great job.
Loved it.
Book Review: Interesting, but not great
Summary: 3 Stars
I've read four of Jodi Picoult's books and I definitely found this one to be the slowest. Parts were really interesting and other parts just dragged. I could definitely picture the setting, the characters, etc., but sometimes the details bogged down the plot.Book Review: Jodi Picoult - Keeping Faith - A must Read
Summary: 5 Stars
Jodi Picoult delivers - again. This book is fabulous and is a true page turner. While it is not as good as My Sister's Keeper or Nineteen Minutes - or her latest, Handle With Care, it is (in my opinion), a fantastic read. I continued to ponder some of the trademark questions that reading Picoult's books always create in me. Her books force readers to consider both sides of events, no matter how certain we are of our initial opinions and views.
