I read this book with my two youngest daughters at a mother/daughter book club. They loved it. It was a fun princess story.

Not a bad book, a quick read, I finished it in one sitting (a short one at that). I thought it was rather anticlimactic in the end, but through it all the telling stayed very real. This might be due to the fact that it was inspired/dedicated to a friend of his that died of AIds, so his descriptions are rather vivid. But it's not about the disease itself as much as it is dealing with decline and death.

Not something I would have picked up on my own. The story was interesting, perhaps moreso since it's true, but absolutely infuriating. It took me a while to read it, because I kept getting angry about the treatment of women, and I would have to put it down and walk away for a while. It's hard to believe that this sort of thing goes on, in this country, at this time. Definitely eye-opening.
I didn't think it was totally crappy, but it did steer me away from reading anything else he put out.

I couldn't put it down! Great new perspectives to think about! I really think this is a great book for our times and shows how to truly find peace with ourselves and others.

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about a book written entirely in verse, but the the characters are rich and the story is well developed.

This is another book from Jodi Picoult that tackles a tough subject – the cycle of domestic violence. I think that Picoult did a decent job of showing the sides of both the perpetrator of the abuse as well as victim. Many authors would fall into the trend of just looking at it from the victim’s perspective (this is not to say that she in any way indicates that the abuse is right – just gives you a view from both sides of the issue). I think that this is important because it gives you a well-rounded picture. It also allows you to see why people may stay in relationships like this and how they can appear so normal to the rest of the world. Picoult also juxtaposes the two worlds of Hollywood and the Native American reservation of Pine Ridge in South Dakota. These worlds show how very different perspectives can be. It was refreshing after seeing the very materialistic world of Hollywood to spend a little time with a very old culture. It was also interesting from the main character’s perspective because she is an anthropologist who studies cultures – so that gave the reader a different window to see things through. I also enjoyed the mythical tales of the Sioux and hearing about some of their traditions. Based on my experience with previous books by Picoult – I expected more of a “bang” at the ending. This one I sort of saw coming for the last quarter of the book. I thought that it was a very fitting ending – but I was expecting something more shocking. I had one qualm with this novel and it was with the audiobook production. I haven’t actually seen the paperback copy – but I would assume that within each chapter there are section breaks between different aspects of the story that let the reader know that something different is happening. This wasn’t hinted in the narrated version. One section would just flow right into the next and a lot of time I had difficulty dissecting where we were in the story. I am chalking this up to bad production – but I will have to look up this book next time I’m in the bookstore and see if I am justified in this above issue. Maybe it was justified. 4 out of 5 stars for the story. 3.5 out of 5 stars for the audio.

In some ways, it's kind of a surprise that a guy wrote this book. In others, not so much...

Made me sad about whether it's possible to have a happy marriage. Smith's characters are so real and I connected to the interracial household.
