Best Picoult book ever!

Riveting! This book was absolutely spellbinding from beginning to end. The intricacies of each person's story, woven perfectly together, was like sitting down to a sumptuous 5-course meal. I highly recommend this novel. Wow!

Good But Not Great

If this story had been billed as a drama it would have gotten a five star rating but as a mystery, although well written, it drags on and too much time is spent in the past.

I wasn't disappointed!

Picoult has never let me down- and this book was no exception. Rich in history, passion, and suspense, it left me anticipating every page of "the story". I could not stop thinking about the book every time I had to put it down. I highly recommend it!

beautiful! loved everything about it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I already have!

What other book might you compare The Storyteller to and why?

Have read many on this subject but it's incomparable to anything I've read

Which scene was your favorite?

Part II Minka's story. I couldn't stop listening. I cried a few times. I could picture everything. Beautifully descriptive.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Hmmm all of it but I would have to say to say minka's relationship with Frank

Any additional comments?

I'm going to buy the book so i can always have it to read again

Breathtaking characters

I've looked forward to putting my earbuds in every day to hear of the story unravel. I love the characters and would love to spend more time with them. The author brought them to life in such a subtle sweet way.

An atypical perspective novel about the Holocaust.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Storyteller to be better than the print version?

I would def consider the audio version. It reads with drama and accent that takes you there.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Minka was full of courage & resolve. I loved her story, however haunting it was.

Which scene was your favorite?

I visualized Minka reading her novel to her "bunk mates" and felt their need for a place far from themselves.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Would have loved too, but enjoyed going back to it each day. It is a long one, so hard to do in a day.

Any additional comments?

This was my first Jodi Picoult novel. I was impressed. Already looking for another. This was a well-told story, full of varied perspectives and gritty truth. I loved the connectivity between the past and present. I guessed the twist early, but felt the author laid the hints on pretty thick throughout purposefully. I loved the length of the novel and wish it kept going with how Sage & Leo. Did she ever tell Leo what she did? etc.

No regrets with this one!

Intricate & clever presentation-

I completed this book in two days. I was challenged throughout trying to figure out the folk tale & its relationship to Auwchweitz sp?. Characters were well drawn and real. Would recommend this for book club discussions. Picoult can most always be counted on for provocative subject matter.
