ceritanya oke banget, mirip-mirip sama A Time To Kill nya John Grisham tapi ternyata ceritanya lebih unpredictable. sayang endingnya kurang ngena, jadi deh cuma 4 bintang :p
This was a difficult book to read because it deals very directly with child molestation. The story, however, is more about the victim's mother and the choices - and mistakes - she makes. Jodi Picoult always tells a compelling story that fully relates to the issues of our times, and this one does not disappoint.
That Jodi can write! I've read many of her books. They are all the same. They are all really good. Basically it's a family situation, including some legal, medical or ethical conundrum. Usually the mother is the hero. And usually there's a great court scenario. Fast read, well written, interesting, raises good questions.
Another Picoult...good, but not the best of hers I've read. Kind of starting to feel like a Grisham novel where it builds and builds and builds and then just ends...but I still read them. :) It's a quick read so I'd say worth it.
this was not a favorite jodi picoult book. it started out sad, got good, then by the middle got boring and ended badly. A woman, nina, who usually prosecutes child molester's five year old son becomes the victim of sexual abuse. finding this out, and reading the portions of the book from his point of view are so sad. at first i thought about not reading the book. fortunately picoult doesn't lay that part on too thick, so i was able to keep reading. nina is a very unlikeable character. through a series of twists, we keep learning new things about the case, and about her case. but never do i like her. i am disappointed in the outcome, both the personal outcome and the judicial outcome. i was pretty bored reading it by the end, but i kept reading just to see what would happen. i wasnt a fan of her husband or her best friend either. the only likable character in the entire book was the five year old boy, who was very smart.i really dont agree with what nina did, either.
Classic Jodi Picoult - the 'what would you do' family story with a twist at the end. District Attorney Nina Frost finds out that her five year old son has been molested when he stops speaking. Through a miscommunication with newly-learned sign language they first think it is his father, Caleb, but then he 'tells' them it is the local priest, Father Glen. Nina has dealt with many child abuse cases and so decides to take the law into her own hands by killing the priest and then setting out to prove herself insane at the time.
I picked the first couple of twists but not the final one, which I enjoyed. A good plot and some truly beautiful passages of writing, although I found Nina a little hard to relate to.

I really enjoyed Perfect Match. I felt like the characters acted as real people would act. I enjoyed the court scenes and felt like there was a adequate amount. Great ending! Definitely one of my favorite Picoult books!
Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult was pretty much a debbie downer the whole way through but I still loved it. I am such a huge fan of Jodi Picoult and read this one because it is one of seven novels of hers that I haven't crossed off my list. The subject matter is sad and deep - sexual molestation of a child. While the topics were overall sad, I really liked how the author told the story from each character's point of view. One character was a district attorney and when she finds herself in court not to represent others but to be represented, the story takes an interesting turn. I love novels that show me the ins and outs of the courtroom, especially since the man I love hopes to be there someday. Not my favorite of Picoult's works, but still a good read if you can get past the terrible acts of the characters {and, so sadly, real people too.}
