 Not impressed August 9, 2008
Mrs. Claire French (Essex, England)
I am a big fan of Picoult - but having read 'My Sisters Keeper' before this one, I found it poor by comparison. It dragged on unecessarily, and if you are waiting for a twist or something exciting to happen, don't hold your breath! I found it self indulgent and in many ways pointless. Sorry Jodi, by far your worste effort.

As in other books by Jodi Picoult, there is a central theme involving human emotions of both hope and despair. In this case postnatal depression and the loneliness and anguish that result, drive Paige, a young mother, to leave her 3 month old baby and run.
This is wonderfully woven into the story of how she met her husband on the rebound from an intense childhood romance and the need to track down her mother who abandoned her at the age of 5.
Nicholas is training to be a surgeon, eventually reaching the pinnacle in his field, and is totally thrown by suddenly having to care for his young son alone.
The relationship struggle between himself and Paige is beautifully drawn, a heart-wrenching tale of misunderstandings. Nicholas used to total respect and awe from his colleagues, Paige somewhat childish but fresh and vibrant in her behaviour, with mesmerising artistic talent.
Excellently drawn, I really enjoyed this book. 9 out of 10 because the ending was a touch contrived, I'd have preferred it to finish on page 388 before she revealed her secret. Enough said.
Highly recommended.
 Not one of her best! September 17, 2007

I have read all of Jodi Picoults books and I have to say that I thought this was the worst one. I didn't even care what happened to characters until about half way through. I read the last half very quickly and became a lot more interested in the story. The first half was boring and I very nearly gave up. The other reviews on here have given it 5 stars - maybe I missed something? If you are a Picoult fan like me, you could leave this story out of her collection and not be missing much.

I'm fifteen years old, and love Jodi Picoult's books to pieces. Having recieved a bundle of them for my birthday, I found myself hooked.
There is always a moment at the end of Picoult's books when you look up only to realise that the characters are not in fact living in your own bedroom.
If I could give more than 5 stars if possible to these books.
When in doubt - buy one, or borrow one from your local library... These books are magic.
[The Pact is by far the most superior, in my opinion.]
Happy Reading!!!! :)
I thought the book was heart-felt and wonderful. July 9, 1999

The book was the longest book I've ever read, but it was well worth it. A trait that makes it unique is that it shows two points of view as you read through the book you see how two different character see and react to things. This book will not let you down in any way. I think it is my best purchase!
