    I am probably the only person in the world who HATED this book with such a white hot hate that you almost wonder if it was just the opposite I m reviewing it for the sake of Lorelle since it is the book that drew me into the lovely book club that I survived or survived me for several fun years.To sum up, I wanted to tell the main character s girlfriend I ve forgotten all of their names, mercifully , to get over yourself I m not giving anything away when I reveal that the pact of the title involv [...]

    I liked this better than My Sister s Keeper as a whole, although I have some of the same complaints about it This author is a master of making you believe in a story that makes exactly no sense and making you care about characters who behave like exceptional idiots If I thought about any of it for very long, it was all mind numbingly stupid But I have to admit that the story is engrossing and satisfying in the end PS this is not a book for the bashful there s a lot of sex in it, of the awkward t [...]

    He kissed her so gently she wondered if she had imagined it To say there had been a loss was ludicrous one lost a shoe or a set of keys You did not suffer the death of a child and say there was a loss There was a catastrophe A devestation A hell He closed his eyes How could he convey to someone who d never even met her the way she always smelled liek rain, or how his stomach knotted up every time he saw he shake loose her hair from its braid How could he describe how it felt when she finished hi [...]

    Why do so many people seem to love adore Jodi Picoult novels I gave her a try with My Sister s Keeperand admittedly, I didn t hate it, although I did take issue with the plot However, The Pact has now completely and successfully put me off all any Picoult novels.There are so many reasons why I hated this book I find it hard to pick one major thing that irritated me The things I do hate about it are.ral parts of the story.WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD Not that I even recommend you read this novel So jus [...]

    This is the first Jodi Picoult book that I have read I admit that she is a good writer and I found myself unable to put the book down however, I felt that there was a lot lacking to make this a solid GOOD book In my opinion, though this book was supposed to be a drama love story, it severely lacked drama I felt it was worthy of three stars rather than two solely because I completely fell in love with the main character, Chris Harte He was the only character that I felt was well developed and the [...]

    Gosh, I want to hate her for writing books like thisThroughout the whole book, I was thinking about what rating to give it, because there were parts that blew my mind and others that were just very slow, yet significant for the storyline I even caught myself thinking Ha, she forgot to mention that but then it happens on the last page The end of The Pact convinced me again though that I can t give this book less than 5 stars There aren t many books where I really sympathise or feel with the chara [...]

    This is of a rant than a review but this book is pure trash so I d rather talk about its issues While reading other reviews for The Pact I only found one person, before I gave up, that had the same problem as me It got to the point that I wondered if I read the same book as everyone else because I don t know how anyone could have read this book and not taken issue with a very glaring problem that happens many times throughout the story The Pact starts off with a boy and a girl, who are later id [...]

    How did three of my friends end up reviewing this book on the same day, especially when at least two of them didn t read it that recently Did I miss a review contest or something Anyway, I couldn t resist adding my opinion to the pile This was my first Jodi Picoult book, and as I read it, I was captivated She chooses good topics, and her writing really pulls you in At the time, reading her can feel intellectually stimulating as her books raise interesting psychological questions.However, there s [...]

    I knew the premise of this book was teenage suicide but I still found it very disturbing As a mother I could not imagine anything devasting then the loss of your child, by whatever means Picoult s sequence of events was intersting the timeline moved back and forth so that the reader was able to get a sense of how close both families were I was not able to relate to Emily s pain at all Yes, she was sexually abused as a child in a fast food restaurant, but if she was as smart we are led to believ [...]

    Not sure about spoilers here I think I danced around things pretty well, but you may want reconsider your decision to read further in case I messed up I am a bit disappointed I was so close to loving this novel and its author, and I really did want to love them, but the denouement really let me down In the two books I ve read now, Jodi Picoult sets out to deliver a big twist that will knock us on our asses But she telegraphs the big twist in a way that removes any possibility of surprise This co [...]

    After you ve read a few Jodi Picoult books, you come to expect certain things A compelling, flashpoint topic teen suicide, stigmata, school shootings, sexual abuse, etc that rips a small New England community apart Courtroom drama Finely wrought family dynamics A maverick lawyer, a quirky judge, and a lot of angst Tons of plot twists and turns All of the above were present in The Pact, a story of the death of a teenage golden girl, with her longtime boyfriend accused of the murder which he claim [...]

    This was a devastatingly beautiful story Very hard book to put down and will leave you experiencing a wide arrange of emotions I did not have the whole it is like Romeo and Juliet as many readers reviewers mention, as I am not a huge fan of that story love Shakespeare, but not that plot Instead it was like a love story with no true happily ever after There is no way for a happily ever after in this book but trust me, it is acceptable to the reader Overall, a powerful read that will leave you ask [...]

    I hated this book I was especially angry that I couldn t find it at the library and had to go all over looking for it, and all that effort was wasted I m not sure exactly why we read it for book club, because the main female character was the complete opposite of strong She was mealy mouthed and pathetic, but I got the feeling that we, the readers, were supposed to sympathize with her anyway As opposed to the author implying, here is a despicable example of a woman, one who gets pregnant and dec [...]
    Emily
    I bought this book merely because a girl in a bookstore approach me and asked me if I would like to buy her copy off her She said she loved the book and she wanted money to buy another one of Jodi Picoult s books I hadn t ever read anything of Picoult s before, I d only heard that if you read My Sisters Keeper you should keep a box of tissues handy I said yes, because hey its not every day that someone approaches me in a bookstore and I like a bit of spontaneity It took me a while to bother star [...]

    I picked up this book based on recommendations from friends I already loved Jodi Picoult from My Sister s Keeper, The Tenth Circle, and Nineteen Minutes Yet again, she did not disappoint I don t know what to say about the book without sounding hokey is a great story about teen love and commitment I am always amazed at how deeply I feel I know Jodi s characters Right now Chris is sticking in my mind and how often I just wanted to shake him and say Tell someone Don t be a hero But, isn t that exac [...]

    This is a well written, gripping and thought provoking novel The Pact is an extremely emotional tale and it is impossible not to be moved by it Jodi Picoult writes so well and so beautifully The book alternates between the past, tracing the history of the two main characters, Chris and Emma s relationship, and the present, as Chris faces an uncertain future Due to the novel having multiple narrators, the reader gets to see all sides of the story and this adds to the intrigue of the plot There ar [...]

    The Pact by Jodie Picoult is one of those rare books which made me feel so helpless that I started crying There were parts were I wished I could just jump into the book and stop the characters from making all the wrong decisions The story was rich and has its own charisma which made me want to read it in the first place Granted I knew what I was getting in to provided it was a Jodie Picoult book after all but I was not prepared for the onslaught of emotions which were headed my way The story of [...]

    Jodi Picoult delivers another excellent novel about family relationships, friendships, courtroom drama, a love story, suicide and so much This certainly is a page turner and one that could lead to a great bookclub selection Picoult s novels are emotionally draining because she skillfully writes about problems that exist in society 4 stars
    Elin
    I ll admit that Picoult can tell a story and keep me interested, but she has some seriously annoying writing tics that almost made me stop reading Some examples , he said softly , she said thickly and my favorite , he said, his eyes shining Blech Spare me If only I had a dollar for every time I had to read one of these trite phrases Is there not some other way to convey that someone is speaking softly than by saying softly Also, someone needs to re edit this book because I found errors like, say [...]

    This book wasn t as good as I d expected, but what disappointed me than anything was how much of a jerk Emily was to Chris Through memories, it s seen that Emily used Chris as a scapegoat for all her wrongdoings in childhood, like stealing a sex book from the local library and drinking alcohol And then she kills herself and gets Chris implicated in her murder and it s implied that she hates just about everyone and everything, and that perhaps Chris was just her escape, not her friend.This is on [...]
    Vasia
    For me her best book Loved the way she split the story between the girl s side of view and the boy s and how even if she shows you in the end what really happened you still walk away unsure of who was right.

    Great book about the struggles of being a teenager I read this with my youth book club They loved it, but you know teens, they like the dark stuff.The Pact A Love Story, by Jodi PicoultWe read this book as a part of our high school book club By far, it was one of the student s favorite books They really related to the content I had about 8 students, 7 girls and one boy read this book with my co sponsor and I My co sponsor finished the book first and when I finally finished it, I called her right [...]

    By far my favorite book of Jodi Picoult s I thought Plain Truth was my number one, but after reading The Pact, I ve found a new number one At first I wasn t sure that I would like the way the book was laid out with the Now Then , switching back and forth But I came to realize after I was continuing to read and finished the book, that s what made the book so great I loved going back Then because it gave you the truth and a walk through their life and how they became to where they are Now I really [...]

    This book, as my favorite of Jodi s, stands in for the whole Picoult oeuvre, which I read mostly over the course of one summer and which is the proving ground for the split in my reading personality snob vs storylover Picoult is sentimental, always takes on at least one Issue, and pretty much smacks you at the end of each chapter, if not each section, with pithy Theme Sentences, but she manages to avoid after school specialiness almost totally no, I don t know how that s possible She also is a w [...]

    Jodi Picoult is a storyteller, a masterful one She has everything to create the perfect story the language, the plot, the developed characters, the relationships A bit like Liane Moriarty, her mysteries are unconventional, domestic But she is on the dramatic, tragic side, while Liane Moriarty takes it with much humor.In this book, Picoult touches so many important issues, the strength of love, between lovers, between parents and children But also, the notion of truth, in court, and outside of [...]
