I am in the middle of reading The Pact. I'll probably be finished reading it soon since it is hard to put down. The story is a definite page turner. It is a contemporary novel about love and friendship and remains suspenseful page by page. This novel is a tragedy of two families. It is haunting and makes the reader question certain things in their own life. So far, the novel has been intensely moving. PEOPLE magazine said, ""Engrossing… The Pact is compelling reading, right up to the stunning courtroom conclusion. Bottom line: Picoult's deft touch makes this her breakout novel." There are a lot of characters so it is hard to soak in all of their names in the beginning. I can't wait to see what happens later on in the book.

Recently, my friends have been raving about the author Jodi Picoult. I want to spend the fourth marking period reading her novels. Many people have recommended her books such as The Pact, My Sister's Keeper, and Nineteen Minutes. I'm excited to read these books that people have been talking about. I know I will enjoy them since I trust my friend's judgement. I can't think of a final project to do so I may have to work backwards in order to think of a good idea. If anyone has suggestions let me know.
