Picture Perfect

I love Jodi Picoult, I own almost all of her books and look forward to new additions to my collection. However...I cannot believe that she wrote this book. I tried a number of times to get through it, and finally just gave up! Boring, and truly unbelievable at the same time. I did not like the characters, and that is not typical of Picoult's style! I actually wrote inside the front cover of my copy "DO NOT LEND...NOT A GOOD READ!!!" I'd hate to inflict this upon someone else!

This book has been a waste of my time and money. I made it to page 36 (after two attempts) and that's as far as I'm going to go.

I've not read any other books by Picoult; I hear good things all the time. I guess I just picked the wrong one to start with, because Picture Perfect is not enjoyable at all.

The writing is both dull and overly dramatic. The whole situation is rather soap opera-esque and unbelievable. Very, very slow.

Don't waste your time.

I picked this up to see what all the fuss was about Jodi Picoult. The story gripped me from the first page. I couldn't put it down and when I had to, I couldn't stop thinking about the characters and what was happening. I usually read two or three books at a time, but dropped everything else to finish this. A very good story, a very good read.

I loved the first half or 2/3 of this book but then it seemed as if it would never end. The same scenario over and over. Too bad, as it was off to such a good start.

I have read all but 2 of Picoult's books, all of which I have enjoyed immensely. Picture Perfect, however, in my opinion, was the least enjoyable. I felt that the plot was dull and Picoult lacked the twists and turns she usually employs. I also felt that it was very unrealistic in many ways. Just my opinion. All in all, an ok book, and I love all of her others.
