Vanishing to America.

29 May 2009

This time it took me two weeks and a day to finish reading. I usually get to do about a chapter or two each night after playing fetch with Scubby.

I would watch Picoult’s words perform the storyline in my mind, and Scubby would enjoy his belly being rubbed while comfortably snuggled next to my lap. The evening doesn’t get any better than that, and the highlight would be the husband coming home from work :)

*Spoiler below*

Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult

My Verdict: 3 stars

I found this book a bit wayward. The background stories of the characters were not as engaging as her other books. Hence, it was lengthy to read and I got bored very soon.

The courtroom episodes were too short. It seemed like they went in, and without much fiasco, the father was found not guilty. End of story.

I could usually guess the outcome after a few chapters. So the reason why I keep coming back for more is because of her choice of topics — they are always relevant and “almost” real!

I’m going to take a break. Or I might just get OD-ed on JP after doing a back to back. So tonight I shall dig my way to America with a new Author instead :)
