4.0étoiles sur 5 Great Book, Nov. 3 2007
Par Diana D (C) (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Salem Falls (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. At times I was a little annoyed with some of the characters, specifically Gillian and her rich hot shot father, however not everyone in real life is pleasing either. I couldn't put the book down, mainly because I wanted to find out the verdict of course. I really enjoyed Jack as a character and that helped me feel for his character and want to read more!!
I would recommend this book!

This review is from: Salem Falls (Hardcover)
SALEM FALLS by Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult does it again with SALEM FALLS, a story about a man who is falsely accused of rape. Jack St. Bride was a teacher and soccer coach at a small town high school, when he is accused of rape and is sentenced to 8 months in prison. When he is released, he finds his way to another small town, Salem Falls, to start a new life, hoping that anonymity will give him the peace he is looking for.

The wheels of fate start turning when he has to report in to the local police department and let them know he is a sex-offender. In this small town, gossip spreads fast, and soon the entire town learns who Jack really is. Only two people feel that he is innocent of the crime he was accused of back home: Addie Peabody, who owns the "Do-or-Diner" and her father, Roy Peabody. Both of them are dealing with losses that have greatly affected their current life, and in some way they can relate to Jack as he struggles to escape from his past.

At the heart of this story is the theme of "the witch hunt", as the towns people watch Jack closely with condemning eyes as they wait for him to make his first mistake. He is then accused of yet another rape, this time accused by the only daughter of the richest man in Salem Falls. Jodi Picoult keeps the reader guessing, as even the reader isn't sure whether Jack is guilty or not. As with KEEPING FAITH and THE PACT, this book ends in the courtroom, and it is anyone's guess what the final verdict will be.

This is yet another Jodi Picoult book that I enjoyed a lot. Although it took me a while to get into the story, as I had a hard time relating to the teens who practiced witchcraft, it all came together in the end. Highly recommended, I am giving this book five stars.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Just awful, Mai 7 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Salem Falls (Paperback)
A display of her books in the local bookstore led me to give this immensely popular author a try. I did not expect great literature, but I hoped for some diversion and a clever plot that would keep me turning pages. What I got was 400+ pages of cardboard characters, dreadful dialogue, a central romance without chemistry, wince-worthy metaphors that would not pass muster in Creative Writing 101 ("He felt as though he had been asked to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear") and a hackneyed plot devoid of any suspense or originality. The book culminates in one of the most ludicrous descriptions of a trial ever written, with a key witness interrupting the proceedings not once, but twice, to distribute homemade goodies. Remarkably, the judge not only fails to stop this nonsense, but devours the food with relish! The author does achieve the rare feat of simultaneously suggesting that most men are sexually-abusive beasts AND that women, especially young girls, can't be trusted when they make accusations of abuse. Last but not least, any reader who doesn't see the "surprise" twist at the end coming for several hundred pages has not been paying attention! Avoid this one.
