A review by toni_wyatt
The Book of Two Ways by Jodi Picoult
3.0
I'm giving this three stars only because of the research I know went into this work. I do appreciate the work and committment that putting this together required.
This is the story of a mid-life crisis. Dawn had always wanted to be an Egyptologist. She gave up her studies and the man, Wyatt, she had a hate/love relationship with when her mother died. Because she had to raise her brother, she never went back to Egypt.
Instead, she had a daughter and married Brian. Fifteen years later, she wants to go back to Egypt and find Wyatt. She walks off and leaves her husband and daughter.
Now, she must decide which life she wants.
The ending was a no-go for me. I really didn't appreciate it. AT ALL. And, the book was incredibly bogged down with ancient Egyptian facts, which if you're into that, it might be fascinating. I tried, but it was too much for me. Interesting at points, but thrown into other moments in a way that made my eyes glaze over. I wish it had been an adventure story that included Egyptian discovery and culture instead of a droning mid-life crisis.
