Book Reviews of Keeping Faith
Book Review: One of Picoult's Best!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read almost all of Picoult's books, and this one is one of my favorites! The thought-provoking ending still has me wondering to this day!Book Review: One of her best!
Summary: 5 Stars
I forgot how much I enjoyed this one. It's definitely one of my favorites - it still makes me tear up... especially the part with Ian & Michael. Of course, I am predisposed to crying over that sort of thing, but I really like the miracles that happen it it. It's a very great book and many things that occur in it foreshadow another one of my favorites of hers... which I will be reading fairly soon!
The book also follows the court-case-ending formula that she so loves. And the drama of it all certainly works.
Book Review: One of my favorites
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite picoult books. Everyone should read whether a religious person or not. Has controversial ideals that makes you think and question the world.Book Review: Picoult is excellent
Summary: 4 Stars
Picoult is an excellent writer and develops her characters better than anyone I've ever read. The story moves quickly, and is fiercely entertaining. This book makes you think, and wonder, and question. Picoult has a gift for picking these types of topics. Her books are long, but she researches her subjects well to give you a full taste of the topic, but she lets you make your own mind up. The book is redeming and you fall in love with Faith, and all the main characters. The ending builds quickly and then at the end you are left with questions. I am not fan of that, I like to know what the author is trying to tell me, especially when I am that commited to a book (long). I still think her book My Sisters Keeper is better, but it's a masterpiece.
Read that one first if you have not. Keeping Faith is definitely worth while if not just for the beautiful writing of Picoult, but also for the journey she takes you on.
Book Review: Riveting
Summary: 5 Stars
For a few years now, everywhere I go i see Jodi Picoult's books on the shelves, but never picked one up. Now that I did, I'm going to read them all!
i absolutely couldn't put this book down. Faith is a seven year old girl who parents are going through a messy divorce and suddenly she starts talking to God or her "Guard". I don't want to say too much more about the plot since I don't want to give anything away, but read this book!
I think that what I love the most about it is that your own perceptions of religion can influence what you think the truth in the book about Faith's experiences is (is she faking it or actually talking to God?) so two people could read this book and come away with very different conclusions. I was not raised in a religious background so found it very easy to relate to the characters, who are finding this all strange and unfamiliar and questioning their feelings on it throughout the novel. I still don't know what I think actually happened in the book!
