by Jan Brady The Tenth Circle: Jodi Picoult
This is an excellent book! It shows a very young a naive girl named Trixie who is very young and naive about dating. She does everything she can to make her ex-boyfriend stay with her. This is a great book for people who have ever been through a relationship that was very depressing for them, and read this book. It is also a very graphic book. It is a great book, I hope you enjoy it. Another book of hers is My Sister's Keeper. BEST BOOK!!!!!!! all of her books have a twist ending, like nothing you'd ever think about! AMAZING!!!!

by Beth 10th circle....ending disappointing
The storyline is really good....but the ending of this book was way too predictable...and disappointing. Instead of the loose ends of the book coming together gradually....the book abruptly ends. I've found that most of her books end this way. It's almost as if she was writing the book, and one day thought she didn't want to write anymore just finished it all up on one page. Probably won't read anymore of her books.

Very disappointing read. Not the usual standard of Jodi Picoult's earlier novels. I understand the concept of the rape of Trixie, the dilemma of Laura, deceit and guilt, and of Daniel's protectiveness and overpowering desire to protect his daughter. However, this was forgotten in the midst of neve rending chapters and unnecessary comic strips.

by Lynn Not the best Jodi Picoult
I have been listening to the audiobook and while I have enjoyed many of Jodi Picoult's books, this one feels really wordy and not as appealing as "The Pact" or "My Sister's Keeper".

This book was wonderful. It kept you on the edge the whole time. I couldn't put it down. Jodi is a great author. I have read several of her books and have loved all of them.

Completely unimpressed with some of the first Picoult I read, I always expect a similar reaction and have begun to be surprised by her offerings.
Reading the early chapters, I expected to write that the family relationships were poorly developed, with the mother character being virtually disregarded. But I have to say the book developed well, and naturally, and the correlation to Dante's Inferno was drawn better than I expected.
The digression, and it was a digression, to compare the novel to the classic was probably necessary for those who have not studied classics. The discussion of the nine circles of hell, and whether there are new sins which require new circles is a common topic, as is the idea of a tenth circle. But, it could have been worse.
The insertion of the comic genre was another distraction, especially if one stops in the course of reading to look for the hidden letters. (Either do it before reading, or after, if you look). If she wanted to discuss Demosthenes, it could as easily been done during the 'circles' commentary.
We were led down a (too) brief road with Jason, learning to like him just a little, and left without much resolution to his character. Is he a typical teen, without malice? Was he intentionally redeemed? Perhaps Picoult could not make up her own mind, thus left it to the reader. This always irritates me, though, and detracts.
So, why begin this by saying I was pleasantly surprised, and the book was well-developed? In spite of everything wrong with it, and there is more than I list here, I finished it with the definite feeling I had not wasted my time, and had spent a pleasant two days getting to know some pretty interesting folks. Especially Daniel's dad..... talk about no character development.
