The Tenth Circle: A Novel
by Jodi Picoult
The Tenth Circle (5/10/2007)
Having read several Jodi Picoult novels and found them really addictive and enjoyable I was looking forward to reading The Tenth Circle. What a disappointment - found the plot confusing at times and could not understand the necessity for the evil drawings. Half way through thought the storyline was improving only to be bored again on the final chapters. I obviously 'missed the plot' here and generally was disappointed. Somehow this book does not deliver. Will however be reading more of her books which will obviously have a different theme.
