RO IS READING!! wow...
I got thru 24 pages and it was exciting and storyline was very interesting which is good because i have a SHORT attention span. I will write more as the book's characters and plot start to come together. If I can finish this book and one more, I might start a book club. Who Knew! Well, here's the book I'm reading. A huge thanks to Linda for inspiring me to read again!
Author: Jodi Picoult
Title of Book: The Tenth Circle
Short Synopsis: When Daniel Stone was a child, he was the only white boy in a native Eskimo village where his mother taught, and he was teased mercilessly because he was different. He fought back, the baddest of the bad kids: stealing, drinking, robbing and cheating his way out of the Alaskan bush – where he honed his artistic talent, fell in love with a girl and got her pregnant. To become part of a family, he reinvented himself – jettisoning all that anger to become a docile, devoted husband and father. Fifteen years later, when we meet Daniel again, he is a comic book artist. His wife teaches Dante’s Inferno at a local college; his daughter, Trixie, is the light of his life – and a girl who only knows her father as the even-tempered, mild-mannered man he has been her whole life. Until, that is, she is date raped…and Daniel finds himself struggling, again, with a powerlessness and a rage that may not just swallow him whole, but destroy his family and his future.
What others are saying about this book:
“[This] novel's twists and suspense will satisfy the most adrenaline-addicted reader…Picoult must have set her keyboard on fire as she wrote. The energy and tumble-down acceleration is extraordinary.”
—Midwest Book Review
“A compelling read…Picoult is the women's fiction equivalent of Jerry Bruckheimer, and The Tenth Circle has 11th-hour plot twists reminiscent of a CSI episode…engrossing entertainment.”
—Globe & Mail review, Toronto
“Novels and comic books exhibit many differences. But in Jodi Picoult’s “The Tenth Circle,” the reader witnesses a marriage of the two - and it’s a marriage made in heaven...”The Tenth Circle” is strong enough as only a novel. But when coupled with its illustrated counterpart, it becomes a treat for both the mind and the eye.”
