  my second book of Jodi Picoult. this book didnt take that long as my sister 's keeper, but what i found in these two books is that they all talk about the parent-child love. In this book, you will see how a father try to protect her daughter; no matter what happened.
  As parents always believe their children are the best, even when something had happened, it always not their children's fault. Parents would do something crazy just in order to protect their children. you can see it both in my sister's keeper and this book.
  Everyone has a dark side, but people usually choose to hide it in everyday life, but when one day it blows out, no matter what reason is, it would come out to do anything to protect their best love.

  This is a book that will tug at the parent of any teenage girl. My own daughter is a young teenager and I wonder where my little girl has gone. It is a difficult age stuck between childhood and adulthood. Picoult takes you back to Trixie's childhood where she escaped from her stroller while her father frantically runs around trying to find her. We can all identify with that, it does not take a second. We also gain insight into Daniel's (her father) background and former life. I do not want put spoilers into the review so I will say very little of the storyline. What parent would not go to the end of the earth to protect their child or cover for them. It explores family issues where a family is turned upside down not only by what has happened to Trixie but by her mother's mistake. I found I could empathise with the Stone family and with the detective who at the end of the day was just doing his job. A recommended read.

  This was my least favorite of her novels. I don't know why,but it just did not pull me in like some of her others.

  Jodi did not surprise me in the Tenth Circle as much as the other of her books did. I could guessed who the true murderer was WAY BACK. Which spoiled the fun and twist of the book.

  Jodi did not surprise me in the Tenth Circle as much as the other of her books did. I could guessed who the true murderer was WAY BACK. Which spoiled the fun and twist of the book.

  Call me heartless, but I don't have sympathy to the characters. In the first half of the book, I really felt the sorrow and was sadden by the tragedies that happened to the family. Unfaithful wife, daughter rape case, father who had a tough childhood. But the further I read, the more I think they HAD a choice. Laura had a choice of not having an affair. Trixie had a choice of not buying special-K from Seth. She could have told the truth..... The only victim in the story, I guess is Daniel. You've gotta have respect to a parent like that. He is my favorite character in the book.

  Family crisis is Jodi's speciality and no doubt this is a grim subject. Once again Jodi Picoult made us puzzle about moral value, ignorance of parents, and how cruel kids can be.
