A new literary style bound to be a winner !!

Jodi Picoult's THE TENTH CIRCLE verges on genius for a new literary style to add to her tight rope walking ideas that she always presents in her books. Her new book is 10% cartoon book which covers all the intricacies of Dante's Inferno with the wonderful style of the adult superhero cartoonest. Once again she presents a book that is a must do for all reading groups. What would we be willing to do for our child? Do we have any control over our darker, vengeful sides? Can we learn from mistakes and become better people? Are human being redeemable? Parental angst for the life styles of our teenagers is played out extremely well in this very compelling story line. I would recommend that anyone who has not not found Jodi Picoult should go right out and pick up all thirteen of her easy reading, thought provoking, timely issues books. A superhero winner, Jodi Pidoult!!

exciting thriller

Daniel Stone was the only white child who lived in an Alaskan Eskimo village where because of his race, the boys picked on him until he finally acted out by stealing, vandalizing property, fighting and a host of other petty crimes. When he was eighteen, he left Alaska and reinvented himself and now is a mild mannered comic artist a stay at home dad to his teenage daughter Trixie, who he will protect at any cost. Trixie is in love with Jason who dumped her for another girl but she does everything in her power to get him back. At an unsupervised teen party, Trixie tries to make Jason but it backfires and she returns home telling her father he raped her. Jason is arrested and let out on bond but the lead detective on the case finds inconsistencies in Trixie¿s story. Just when they are about to drop the case, a date rape drug is found in Trixie¿s blood taken when she went to the hospital right after she claimed rape. Jason is now going to be tried as an adult but that is not the end of the story only the beginning. --- Jodi Picoult always writes an exciting thriller wrapped around a social issue and in THE TENTH CIRCLE the concern is date rape and how it affects the victim, the family and the suspect. The plot takes so many unexpected twists that readers have no idea where the storyline will finally take them. The audience will empathize with Trixie, a young adult who is facing issues her parents never dealt with and she struggles to deal with them on his own. This book is going to make the New York Times bestseller list. --- Harriet Klausner

AWESOME!

This has become one of my favorite books. THE TENTH CIRCLE was a quick read and kept me on my toes! The book took so many unexpected turns that I couldn't put it down. The 'secret' at the very end of the book was quite frustrating until I figured it out. You'll just have to wait and figure it out yourself! A definite 5-star read!

!

This book, like many other Picoult books, not only takes you through the journey that each individual character is experiencing but you also learn so much more about the passion of each of the characters themselves. I love the way she incorperates that into her writing so you feel like you are learning something effortlessly as you enjoy falling in love with her charaters and what makes them who they are.

Jodie Picoult's Worst!

I love Jodie Picoult's books but this book was awful. I hated the main character and felt more sympathy for Jason who is supposed to be "the bad guy". All in all not one of her best works, I do not recommend wasting your money on it.

don't bother

My book club read the synopsis and thought it sounded like a good book. It was almost painful to get through without a glimmer of happiness in it. Every page seemed to bring more tragedy and gloom. I made myself finish it, but it was hard to do so.

If you read the ridiciously long reviews that some people write practically giving away the whole story, without any regard of other people who have not read the book yet. Rude and insensitive. My only advice, DO NOT READ THEIR REVIEWS!

Love great

Wonderful

Great read

I love Jodi PICOULT. This book does not disappoint.

Beautifully written story of a father's journey with his child

I'm a big fan of her's - she writes some very emotional books. I could almost believe a saw a movie similar to this story but I might be mistaken. The book takes you on the journey of not only Trixie, but her mother and father as well. Its well written and Picoult does a great job and the redirection and keeping you guessing. I really enjoyed how she made the dad the primary care taker of the child working from home - I think it really brought more emotion to the story and showed the fathers feelings beautifully for his child.

Great book

Picoult has a way of writing great books that let you get know each character! I read this book in 2 days! Great book

Mari's view

It was a good book. I would have wanted to read what happened to Laura and Daniel and Trixie and Willie...

good ride

This book takes you for a good ride into the perspectives of the characters. However, the ending became a bit predictable.

must Read!

this was the first book that i have read by Picoult and i can say that it is one of my favorite. the characters and situations seem so real its almost as if you are there experiencing them with the characters. After reading the tenth circle i found myself wanting more even at the last page. this novel is very well written and has a graet storyline. its a must!

best book ever

this was the first book by jodi that i have read n it was amazing! my best friend recomended it and i could not put it down

good book,but rough

This book is basically about rape of Trixie, but not only rumors spread but the guy she had sex died. I would say this is more ofpreteen book, because they wouldnt understand about difference of real sex and rape . Its educational book,in my opnion. Its still a good learning how to deal with it, and slove. I watch the movie is just too much to watch.
