Plain Truth
by Jodi Picoult
This book was great- as most Jodi Picoult novels are in my experience. What I found very sad about Katie’s situation was how her religious morals made it difficult for people in the “normal” world to see her perspective; Ellie wanted to use an insanity defense to explain her actions because she knew the court wouldn’t understand why she was absolutely certain didn’t commit the murder through a religious perspective. However, I often thought it was annoying how vague Katie was being, sometimes it was unnecessary and got on my nerves. The book focuses a lot on how being Amish, Katie doesn’t lie and she confesses when she is wrong. There were several times when she disguised the truth and was being so unnecessarily apt, especially at the very end of the trial. She made things so difficult for absolutely no reason. Otherwise, when the author’s gradual hints about what really happened to the baby hit me, everything began to fall in place. The ending was amazing and one of the best (and more happy) endings I’ve read in her books. I was very pleased.
