Finished: Perfect Match

Perfect Match, by, Jodi Picoult


Classification: modern court drama fiction

First Impression: A realistic and saddening tale that everyone should probably read.

Final Verdict: The writing was good and Picoult really supplemented her story by putting in a lot of research for her factual details. However, one too many plot twists early in the book and a main character that to me was totally unlikeable really had me asking myself "why do I care?"

Extended version: And in the end, I simply didn't care. I read the last half of the book just rooting for the main character to get what she deserved. Picoult clearly intended to spark some mild controversy with this book, and whether or not she succeeded I can clearly see how views may widely differ. I didn't like the book at all, but I'm glad I read it, and even halfway through when my opinions started becoming very clear to me, I never considered not finishing it. I still think everyone should probably give it a read, even if I wouldn't actively seek to recommend it.


As always if anyone wants to ask me something specifically about this book, or share thoughts of your own, by all means, please fire away. It's why I am doing this.

In the meanwhile, I have a question for the rest of you. Do you think the pictures should be bigger, smaller, or are okay as is?
