Critic reviews

"Picoult gets better and better with each book...this is an entrancing novel. Highly recommended." ( Library Journal)

Great book, no audio issues

Other reviews mentioned issues with the audio and hearing swallowing sounds. I only noticed it maybe twice but it was not distracting like with other audio books where the narrator inhaled before starting every sentence.Maybe they re edited since those complaints?
I’m a big Jodi Picoult fan but had missed the one somehow. I probably overlooked it because it wasn’t as well rated as some of her other books, but I really enjoyed this story. Definitely worth a credit!

Kept my interest

There were a few parts that I was like “ok I can’t take anymore of this” (religious stuff) but she wrote it in a way that kept me interested. Props for that. I tend to gloss over religious stories especially when I don’t understand them and, due to that, they don’t make sense but this kept my interest and was a great story. I could definitely see where she could see how “guard@ was “god” and how a young kid could think it’s a female (clothing) so I was able to follow without thinking this is just pure fantasy. Good job Jodi.

Jodi always satisfies

Another wonderfully written book by Jodi Picoult. A nice intermixing of different viewpoints telling the story. The storyline was greatly woven between family relations and spiritual relations as well.

The narrator seemed a little less than polished though, there were very long pauses at times and at other times that distinctive breath was heard or starting and stopping of the narrator and stead of an ending of a chapter or some other proper reason for a pause.

All in all I still truly enjoyed the book and would highly recommend it to anyone.

should have 5 stars

I read some of the reviews before committing to this book. And it did have some luls and some abrupt chapter changes. But nothing to warrant a negative review. None of that has anything to do with the wonderful writing, or the outstanding narration. I highly recommend. It kept my attention the entire way thru. Another great book by J.P.

Okay Story

This story had a lot of things happening. It was a bit depressing at times. It had a decent ending but did not tie up loose ends.

Faith is the perfect name!

Jodi Picoult wrote another perfect story. Faith has so many meanings in this story: name of one of the main characters, the name of what propels most of the characters, and helps the reader understand the meaning of the word. Picoult, as always, knows how to keep the reader entranced.

too predictable

I did not feel this was one of Jodi's best books. I am a Christian and really wanted it to be.
I was sadly disappointed and had to struggle to finish it.

Great book

Really enjoyed this story.
It is hard to choose between the audio & the written word. So far I have enjoyed all her books through audio

enthralling

loved it... hard to put down. so many unexpected twists and turns. i hope they turn it into a movie.

Brilliant

Such a clever and interesting story— amazing character development. Jodi is such an incredible author!!
