The Book of Two Ways by Jodi Picoult

3.0

---

I am a huge Jodi Picoult fan. I really wanted to love this book as much as I have loved all her other books but my interest was lost somewhere on the way to Egypt. This book felt like she was the one that was the big Egypt nerd (I say nerd, as John and Hank Green use the word, as someone who is unapologetically enthusiastic about a topic) instead of her character, Dawn. I appreciate how much research Picoult pours in to every book so that the reader can be fully immersed in the world of her characters. This time, however, I was so immersed that I felt like I was in an Egyptology class, not among the ruins, but rather in a basement classroom staring at the clock waiting for the bell to ring. That being said I did like the premise of the story that there are two ways a person's life can take. It makes you think about the choices made in the past, the what if we opened door B instead of walking through door A.
