andigraham 's review for:
House Rules
by Jodi Picoult
I'm only in the first half of this novel, and to be honest, I'm not that impressed.
Actually, the first couple of chapters made me pissed off enough to almost stop reading. From the first few pages, Picoult douses the novel in brand names. I couldn't get through a paragraph without reading about HBO, Old Navy, Vitaminwater, iPod, Windex, etc. It's really quite distracting. Picoult's popularity has ballooned the past few years, but I am disappointed to see her sell out. I will not continue to read Picoult's novels if they continue to follow this trend.
