emma_jane2 Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 Picture perfect by Jodi Picoult Rated 4.5/5 Positives Gives a good insight into the media world, very realistic, exciting, you feel for the characters. Negatives Not Jodi's best, the 'spiritual history' parts bored and annoyed me, not a very surprising twist. Veronika decides to die by Paulo Coelho Rating 5/5 Positives Great writing, amazing use of description, very hopeful, unexpected twist, well developed characters Negatives I suppose the chapters about masturbation would annoy some people.

Negatives Slow plot at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
