Search - The Pact: A Love Story

I struggled with this book. I understand the premise of this book, but at the same time, I just couldn't see myself in the position that the main character found himself him. Yes, I was moved during reading parts of this book, but at the same time I felt vaguely unsatisfied with it. I just didn't buy into the main characters reasons for what he did. They didn't seem believable to me. So, I would hesitatingly recommend this book.

Haunting....Jodi Picoult is genius at writing about the deepest and darkest emotions. Don't be fooled by the title, this is not some fluffy love story.

The second of Picoult's books that I read, the first being the excellent My Sister's Keeper. She does a great job portraying families in crisis, and also making the court cases convincing, so you wonder whose side is really right. The characters were well-drawn, though there were some predictable elements, and I do wish there had been some more flashbacks to Emily and Chris' youth. Overall, though, a wonderful book.

Well written, suspenseful book. This is a can't put it down book.

Picoult's books always leave you thoughtful even as you wipe away the tears.

I have read most of her books. Although this is one of her earlier books, the story and characters are great. It both tense and intesse with a surprise ending, although you do get the feeling that it is not going to turn out quite like you think.
