Book Reviews of Keeping Faith
Book Review: A Touching Story!
Summary: 5 Stars
Jodi Picoult is at her best in this novel about a mother's love for her child; a love that allows for the stretching of the heart, the mind, and the spirit. Faith is a young character who glimmers off the pages, and who brings new hopes and challenges for her single mother. The novel is also a reflection of the media-filled society we live in today, and offers poignant insights into the lives of so many people who appear on our news channels. A definite must-read for mothers, daughters and those who are looking to stretch their ideas on spirituality.Book Review: Thought provoking with awesome characters
Summary: 5 Stars
Jodi has quickly become one of my favorite authors. My teenage daughters introduced her books to me last summer and I have been devouring the books as fast as I can get my hands on them ever since. It is generally very hard for me to get into a new book but I have loved every one of them so far and this is one of my favorites. With the exception of the last page of this book, which is rather confusing, this book is full of rich characters and a wonderful story line that will keep you turning the pages wanting to learn more.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: Eh. Classic Jodi.
Summary: 3 Stars
This book had SO much potential. It wasn't bad but it really wasn't about you thought it was going to be about. You thought it was going to be about if Faith could see God or not and go into detail about it. It wasn't about that much at all, it was about a custody case and the cathloc church. And even in the end, I had to read it 3 times to make sense of what she was trying to say. And it still wasn't clear. It was good, it had it's moments, but I'm still waiting for something.Book Review: Should have been condensed
Summary: 3 Stars
The book was very good...I love the way that Picoult writes; however, the story could have been about 50 pages shorter and still had the same affect. I got really bored through the court case when everything was repeated from earlier in the story for the case. It just didn't move fast enough from about page 200 on. It drug a little bit for me.
Don't get me wrong, I love the books of hers that I have read, but this one left a little to be desired.
