Picture Perfect

I have really enjoyed all of Jodi Picoult's books so far. However, this one didn't keep my interest. It was okay, but not great.

I have read Jodi Picoult's "Plain Truth" and several of her other novels and I thought Picture Perfect was a wonderful story, but I didn't think the writing was a good as the book Plain Truth. There are numerous excellent reviews that detail the story so I won't add more print. However, I thought the story moved along at a brisk pace and overall it was a wonderful story. I'm not losing faith in Jodi; I'll still purchase her next novel, with a view towards that Picture Perfect being a temporary setback in her storytelling abilities.

A lot of people didn't like it, but I thought it was a very interesting book. Sure it's a bit predictable, but the journey and Jodi's writing are what make it worth the read!

What a great story! Very powerful. The complexity of an abusive relationship is captured in this book.

Jodi Picoult does a wonderful job of allowing the reader to see that a person CAN love the one who abuses them. Love the sinner, hate the sin. This is a great book to recommend to anyone going through abuse - as well as for the family and friends of abuse victims. This story forgives the victim for feeling the way she feels - as it SHOULD, and provides a level of understanding to people who have not experienced abuse. It also shows that it is possible to love and still walk away.
