Perfect Match

Wow. You never know what you would do in this situation until you are faced with it. Can you be insane just long enough to bring justice and does that put you in the same shoes as the person that you bring justice to? I loved this book and couldn't put it down.

So many surprises. Great read. I'm a newcomer to Picoult's novels, but a definite fan. She creates characters that anyone can relate to, but especially parents.

Typical of Piccoult, twists and turns, keeps you up too late reading kind of book! The story is told without being too graphic, but is accurate in the portrayal of the psychological aftermath of abuse. Intense and thought provoking...

this was not a favorite jodi picoult book. it started out sad, got good, then by the middle got boring and ended badly. A woman, nina, who usually prosecutes child molester's five year old son becomes the victim of sexual abuse. finding this out, and reading the portions of the book from his point of view are so sad. at first i thought about not reading the book. fortunately picoult doesn't lay that part on too thick, so i was able to keep reading. nina is a very unlikeable character. through a ...morethis was not a favorite jodi picoult book. it started out sad, got good, then by the middle got boring and ended badly.

I read this avidly – JP is a good writer – she draws characters well, pitches a story, and does her research. But there is a flaw in this book – Nina, commits murder in order to “protect” her sexually abused son from his abuser, and in doing so severely compounds the trauma suffered by him with the......more

Trigger: the sexual assault of a child. This was a gut wrenching novel to read. Like many of Jodi Picoult’s novels you will have an internal debate on if justice through the court system is the best route. Though most of us would agree we should never take the law into our hand, we are also not blin......more

I read this entire book in one night - no easy feat at over 400 pages, but it was so engrossing that I couldn't put it down. Picoult does such an incredible amount of research for every one of her books that, even if you don't like the story, you are guarenteed to come away with knowledge that could......more
