Book Reviews of The Pact: A Love Story
Book Review: Fantastic Read.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was recommended to me by a friend and avid Jodi Picoult reader. I absolutely loved the book and read it in three days while on vacation. It is gripping, page-turning, and thought provoking writing and i loved every minute of it. Jodi Picoult is truly a very talented writer and her craft is well displayed in "The Pact." If you love Jodi Picoult's work or just want a book that has more substance to it than spit on the sidewalk, then this is a great choice. Happy Reading.Book Review: I Enjoyed the Story
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed reading this book and it definitely held my interest. There were a few times where I felt some of the character's reactions were unrealistic to what was going on in the story; however, it was part of what kept the suspense going. For example you know where you watch a movie and you keep saying to yourself, "Why don't they just (fill in the blank) and they'd get some answers?" But I guess that's what make it suspense. All in all, I enjoyed it.Book Review: I LOVE J Picoult's works -- EXCEPT this one!
Summary: 2 Stars
What a disappointment. I've read everything published by Ms. Picoult and loved nearly all of it until this book. She fails to create a plausible picture of the factors compelling Em to be desperately suicidal, and why-oh-why wouldn't Chris try to get the woman he loves help? -- that is help to live, not to die? Unlike Picoult's usual work, The Pact is awkward and slow-moving, and the plot is full of holes. Too bad; not up to Picoult's standards.Book Review: A Must Read if you have a child
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was haunting and somewhat disturbing-yet I could not put it down! Ms. Picoult has really sucked us into the lives of the Hartes and the Golds and how one event is interpreted by different members of the families. The issue of teen suicide is a hot-button topic and is well researched and written. The thing is with this book is you realize that there cannot be a "happy ending" but you still are hoping for the best. Bravo Ms. Picoult!Book Review: Gripping tale for any parent of a teenager
Summary: 5 Stars
Jodi Picoult writes another gripping fictional story that can unfortunately be yet another true tale of teenage suicide. It is written with such detail and description that one has a difficult time putting this book down. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading, but especially to those with teens. It reminds us to pay attention to even the smallest evidence that they might be considering this as a way to solve their problems.
