Plain Truth
by Jodi Picoult
I either love Jodi Picoult books or I hate them. This one was clearly not one of her best efforts. I know Ms. Picoult had to introduce the entire Amish culture into the story, but the whole concept of an "English" attorney having to live with an Amish client was utterly ridiculous. Second, the story just dragged on & on. It could have been condensed into 200 or so pages rather than 400 plus. Also, I'm never one of those people that figures out the ending beforehand, but I had already determined that Sara had killed the baby over halfway through the novel. I continued to read the book just to see if I was correct. I should have just skipped to the last 10 pages & not wasted my time on the rest of the novel. This book was extremely disappointing. Whenever I read a Picoult book I detest, I take at least a two year hiatus before I pick up another one. Maybe I'll learn my lesson with this one. Either that or I'm a glutton for punishment.
