mtiscareno 's review for:
The Book of Two Ways
by Jodi Picoult
* I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. *
Guys, when I say I’m a total Jodi Picoult Junkie— I mean it. I have devoured every single one of her books usually in one sitting.
But I just couldn’t muster my way through the first half of this book without finding myself completely lost and over my head. There’s a LOT going on— you have a flash back and forward situation, Dawn’s clients and their sub plots, Egyptology, physics and other science related terminology that my brain was just like— wow, please take a time out.
It took me two weeks to make it through the first half of the book and see what in the world was going on. And then just like that, the plot picked up and I was able to charge my way through the rest of the story.
There was a lot that happened in the last 30% of the book, lots that was emotionally exhausting and then finally, my least favorite type of unanswered ending—
The unanswered cliffhanger!
Instant grief— I plodded my way through the beginning and I don’t even get an answer! Ugh.
This is just a book that really requires some serious concentration and maybe even some notes in the beginning to follow what was happening. If you can get past all of that, you’ll really enjoy the deep down discovered story.
