This blog...

I have made this blog for the sole purpose of keeping track of the books I have read. Some day I will look back and say "WOW! I sure do read a lot!"
For those of you that come across this blog, I hope you find it useful. It may help you find your next book, get a new perspective on a book you've already read, or at the very least, provide a new way for you to waste a few minutes of your day.

The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult


This was the first book of hers that I read, and I cannot wait to read the rest. I love her writing style and how unpredictable the story is. Throughout the whole book I was on my toes. Each time I thought I was starting to figure out what had happened, another twist would be added.

Not only is the way the story is told and written amazing, but also the story itself is very interesting. Rape is not a light subject, it is something that ruins lives and gets very little persecution. The Tenth Circle does looks at this event from different people’s perspectives. It is not a simple story; it is complex and warped by lies and imperfect memories.


Finally, I like the way each chapter is precluded by a section of a comic book. I have never seen anything like it before and it does a good job of creating more potent emotions. The way in which the comic book and the story follow each other is very cool. And at the end you get to go on a hunt to find the hidden phrase…very entertaining!
