Search - The Tenth Circle

Absolutely love Jodi. Can not put her books down once I start. This particular one contains some adult scenes; teenage drugs and sex; be advised. Otherwise, great story - as always.

I enjoyed the first 3/4 of this book. I sympathized with the main character even though I had a hard time resolving the 14 year old character the author created with the 14 year old girls I actually know. I also really enjoyed the convention of incorporating graphic novel components into a traditional novel. However, I felt the last 1/4 of the book was forced and rambled a bit in order to force a conflict resolution that fit with the tenth circle of hell concept of the book. Plus the author gave us enough clues to know who-dunnit 100 pages before the book ended with no ending plot twists to prove us wrong.

Certainly not my favorite Picoult book. I found the graphic novel dark and hard to read and the ending very easy to see coming. Regardless, the characters were very likable and I had a hard time stopping once I started reading.

I am not a huge fan of Jodi Picoult but I did enjoy this book.

Jodi Picoult always keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering where the story is going to take you. I love how she shows "real" people reacting in situations, and not the fantasy and perfection of "fairy tale" novels. I enjoyed the weaving of the comic strip into the book as a change of pace.

This is one of my favorite Jodi P books. I love it when she delves into the nitty gritty of peoples lives. Good story, if you have a teenage daughter will leave you feeling little worried.

Love it
