Perfect Match
by Jodi Picoult
Jodi Picoult has a special talent. I've read 2 of her novels so far and what I've noticed is that she takes a main character who has a bunch of qualities that you won't like, but she tries to make you like the main character anyway, but it doesn't work. You still hate the main character.In Perfect Match,once again Picoult has managed to create a main character(Nina Frost) who is pretty unlikable. She shoots an innocent man and pretty much has very little remorse about it. She lies to her husband. She's a workaholic mother. She has an affair with her friend. Yet, even though the main character is unlikable, the characters around her(Nathaniel, Caleb, Patrick) are so interesting and likable that you have to keep reading. The only negative about this book not relating to the main character is that I don't like the way that it's not really acknowledged as much as it should be that she killed an absolutely innocent man. I also don't like the way the criminals seem to always get away with their crimes in Picoult's novels. I think that doesn't exactly send a good message. All the same, Picoult is a great writer. She manages to keep the reader interested.
