Perfect Match
Consider this:What would you do in the name of justice? What would you do if someone harmed your child? And what would you do to protect them?These are the questions Nina Frost was faced with after she found out that her son, Nathaniel, was sexually abused. Nina made a living as an assistant district attorney. Her job was to prosecute the child molestors and rapists that preyed on little girls and boys. In her subconscious, she reasoned with herself that through this line of work, her perfect
Jodi Picoult is one of my all time favorite authors. I anxiously await her new books each year.It has been awhile since I read Perfect Match but it is a book that definitely stays with you. Painful to read at times but well written and difficult to put down once you start. You can tell that as usual Jodi Picoult has done her research. As with quite a few of her books dealing with a tough subject can make for some emotional moments for sure. Recommended
I read this entire book in one night - no easy feat at over 400 pages, but it was so engrossing that I couldn't put it down. Picoult does such an incredible amount of research for every one of her books that, even if you don't like the story, you are guarenteed to come away with knowledge that could help you win "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". Reading too many Picoult books can get kind of annoying, as they all follow the same basic formula - even though the end is supposed to surprise you,
Trigger: the sexual assault of a child. This was a gut wrenching novel to read. Like many of Jodi Picoults novels you will have an internal debate on if justice through the court system is the best route. Though most of us would agree we should never take the law into our hand, we are also not blind to the injustices of our judicial system and corrections system. This powerful novel has twists and turns right up into the last couple pages. I was very engrossed in the plot. I did struggle with
Characters: Nina, Caleb, and Nathaniel FrostPatrickNot my favorite JP book. The scenario didn't seem so plausible to me--I believe that sex abuse does happen; however, the scene described seem too contrived. The twist at the end reminded me of a really old Nancy Rosenberg (I think) novel. In her book the mom (also an attorney) murdered the man she believed raped she and her daughter in a home invasion. Later it was revealed that she murdered the wrong person who is a vile individual. In that

Chronicle In Favor Of Books Perfect Match
Picoult brings to life a female prosecutor whose cherished family is shattered when she learns that her five-year-old son has been sexually abused. What does it mean to be a good mother? How far would you go in the name of love -- and justice? In the course of her everyday work, career-driven assistant district attorney Nina Frost prosecutes child molesters and works determinedly to ensure that a legal system with too many loopholes keeps these criminals behind bars. But when her own five-year-old son, Nathaniel, is traumatized by a sexual assault, Nina and her husband, Caleb, a quiet and methodical stone mason, are shattered, ripped apart by an enraging sense of helplessness in the face of a futile justice system that Nina knows all too well. In a heartbeat, Nina's absolute truths and convictions are turned upside down, and she hurtles toward a plan to exact her own justice for her son -- no matter the consequence, whatever the sacrifice.Itemize Books Conducive To Perfect Match

Got this in Costa Rica because there was nothing else remotely decent and figured that I'd enjoyed Sister's Keeper enough. However, was let down and just felt that this was hastily written and overly complicated. Plus, explored pretty much the same themes as before and did not do as good a job at exploring the shades of grey. Found myself more annoyed with the mother than anything else and not especially caring about the outcome...next!Consider this:What would you do in the name of justice?
