Book Reviews of Keeping Faith: A Novel (P.S.)
Book Review: a nice surprise!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been reading Jodi's books wayyyyy before she became so mainstream. I never bought this book though because the topic seemed really iffy to me. I just didn't see how she could pull off this topic and make it into a good book. After getting her newsletter though and seeing one of the characters would be in her new book, Change of Heart, I decided it was time to read it. I must say I'm so happy I did. As a Catholic I found it especially interesting. Don't let the topic fool you though like it did me. There is a lot of religion but underneath that is a great plot and story line. Really enjoyable!Book Review: My first Picoult - and wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first Jodi Picoult book (my library is always out so I had to buy it) and I loved it. I really enjoy books where religion or spirituality is part of the characters lives even though I am not currently affiliated with any religion. I was raised as a Catholic, so many of the ideas were familiar to me, and I appreciated the insights into the Jewish faith. But there was so much more to make this an interesting story: child custody issues and trial lawyers, TV and media aspects, family relations, love and infidelity. I can't wait for my next Picoult book.Book Review: It's ok - raises questions
Summary: 3 Stars
I have to agree with a lot of reviewers - this book was predictable and relationships weren't built properly. As I finished the book I felt the author barely had written anything original. So why did I like this book? Even though much of the plot has been done before - I think it's a good book club book. The author puts scenarios together that are great for discussion and reflection. The question of who is God and where is God in our own life is something this book doesn't answer - but seems to point out the need to have thought out answers for ourselves....Book Review: too many unexplained events
Summary: 1 Stars
I am glad that this was not the first Jody Picoult book that I have read - not sure I would have continued with her others...I have loved most of her other books that I have read. However, I felt that Keeping Faith left too many unanswered questions which made the events in the book unbelievable. The ending was very disappointing - it did not bring anything to closure, nor did it lead you to make any of your own conclusions.
Sorry to say that this book was a let-down for me.
Book Review: Heart warming Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read other Jodi Picoult books, so knew this one would be good. I was not disappointed. While there were some techical/ legal errors, that did not distract from the overall book. For me the best aspects of the book are reflecting on how the mother juggles her own values and beliefs with how she believes her child should be raised. She honestly puts her child first in all her decisions. Reading this book was an enjoyable, heartwarming experience.
