"ANOTHER FANTASTIC NOVEL WRITTEN BY JODI PICOULT. I CAN RELATE TO THIS ONE BECAUSE IM IN MY EARLIER TWENTIES AND WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL I KNEW PEOPLE AND HAD HEARD ABOUT OTHERS GOING THROUGH ALL THE THINGS THAT THE TEENAGE GIRL WENT THROUGH IN THIS STORY.
"I'm only 31, but when I was a teenager - girls didn't cut themselves... so this was an eye opener for me. The rest of the acting out - I recognized as things either I did or saw my friends doing as a reaction to stress & a lack of understanding of life changing events... I feel for the Dad that felt helpless... I could strike the Mom that cheated! Family life is tough.. open communication and trust is needed.
Great book! Interesting relation to the levels of hell and pretty neat puzzle discovered in the pages of the comic drawn by the Dad!!"
"The first 2/3 of the book was great and then the last part kind of drug out. Maybe that is because it was so easy to see 'who did it'.
The story is about Trixie, a 14 year old who commits her former lover of rape. The boy of course denies the rape stating it was consensual. It later comes out that she had the date rape drug in her system and he will be tried as an adult which will likely mean jail time.
He is so distraught, he commits suicide by jumping off a bridge or so they thought. It was at this point the book starts to drag. We are taken into her Dads life in an Eskimo village and there are all these deeper hidden meanings about 'do you really know yourself'.
In the end, Trixie was not raped, it was consensual but she was wanting to get back with Jason. Her Mom was the one to throw Jason off the bridge."
"joy is my new book supplier, so i'm not-so-slowly working my way through her jodi picoult collection.
so far this was my favorite of the three picoult books i've read. firstly, i really liked the comic book theme and the references to Dante's Inferno throughout the book. starting every chapter with a snippit of the Daniel's comic book was a great way to move the story along, through his eyes and mind.
though i have to admit, i figured out the ending about half way through the novel...picoult's books are a bit formulaic. i didn't much care. she's a great author who really knows how to get you inside the mind of a modern family, and experience it's struggles from all sides.
i particularly liked the character of Daniel in this novel. i found him to be extremely real, hiding the darker secrets from his past in Alaska (violence, rage, death) in order to keep his family together as a unit. how that backfired!
anyway...i thought this book was very well written, great story, great characters."
