Misplaced Sympathy
I read hundreds of books every year due to a very long commute and try to stick to the classics. This book was availible on audio and I decided to take a leap of faith and try it. I really must say I was really drawn in almost immmediately. However, I did find myself later in the book truely liking and sympathising with Jason to my own horror! He seemed to be a genuinely a good guy, but a typical teenage boy - in fact a rather sweet teenage boy. Trixie, however, was not a truthful character or a believable one. [review edited to remove plot spoilers] Don't misunderstand me, I still loved it!

Didn't finish the book
I have read several other books by Jodi Picoult and was disappointed in The Tenth Circle. It just did not grip, and I didn't want to finish it so I didn't! Perhaps I'll read the last few pages!!

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.

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".

The Tenth Circle
I totally agree with the review of Joan Hurst about the comic pictures and was also bored through part of the book. DISAPPOINTING !!!

The Tenth Circle
Having read several Jodi Picoult novels and found them really addictive and enjoyable I was looking forward to reading The Tenth Circle. What a disappointment - found the plot confusing at times and could not understand the necessity for the evil drawings. Half way through thought the storyline was improving only to be bored again on the final chapters. I obviously 'missed the plot' here and generally was disappointed. Somehow this book does not deliver. Will however be reading more of her books which will obviously have a different theme.

not up to par
I usually like her books. This one lost me halfway through. Trixie became less likeable, Laura more so and Daniel seemed to have lost and hidden his true self. I had lost interest when Trixie had run off and looked at the last chapter....very predictable and not a satisfying ending. I have only skipped to the end for about 4 books ever and am an avid reader and have read all of her other books. Didn't like this one at all!!

tenth circle
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.
