This was the first Jodi Picoult novel I've ever read...and it definitely did NOT disappoint! The bond between Chris Harte and Emily Gold is fascinating, albeit a little creepy. Picoult does an excellent job of portraying the nature of this bond to the reader...and that is very important when it comes to understanding the actions of Chris and Emily. The book also provides helpful insight on the difficult subject of teen suicide. At first, when reading the back cover of the book, I thought it might be a bit too depressing...but overall, it was simply a fascinating page-turner that kept me wondering what REALLY happened to Emily the night she died. I highly recommend "The Pact," and after just finishing my second Picoult novel ("My Sister's Keeper"), I am HOOKED! I plan to read all of her novels. |

Thanks to Rivki and her sisters i get to know Jodi's books and since then i've been hooked. Am always on the look-out for her latest novels. i have read every jodi picoult book i can get my hands on and even the ones i don't get completely immersed in, i still find readable. she always finds the most intriguing issues to write about and is able to make you really see the issues from the viewpoints of all the characters. I love her books, but I was so sad to see what they did to the "My Sister's Keeper" movie. Jodi's ending was much much better. Thank you, Jodi, for some wonderful reading. When living in Holland, I tried to find something in English, and it was so limited. But I finally found an older one of yours, and fell in love with your writings. I now read everything that is out and coming out. I love Jodi Picoult . Her books always keep me intrigued. Some more then others . But i love how she shows everyones sides to things and makes the characters come alive . My mom and two of her sisters always shared books. After my mom passed away I saw her sisters at a reunion and asked who the current favorite author was. Jodi Picoult was the answer and I've been reading her ever since. Not only do I agree she has a remarkable way of putting us in the true place of all sides of any issue, but in my heart I know my mom would have loved reading her. |
