Ok , so I think I was expecting this book to be awsome because of all the hype i've heard about the author Jodi Picoult and this paticular book "The Pact". And it was. I loved every minute of this book and couldn't put it down.
The very first paragaraph of the book had me hooked..
"There was nothing let to say. He covered her body with his, and as she put her arms around him she could picture him in all his incarnations: age five, and still blond; age eleven, sprouting; age thrireen, with the hands of a man. The moon rolled, slow-eyed in the night sky; and she breathed in the scent of his skin. "I love you" she said.
He kissed her so gently she wondered if she had imagined it. She pulled back slightly, to look in his eyes.
And then there was a shot".
If that doesn't keep you wanting to read more, I don't know what would. To me, this book was about so many things. It was about love, friendship, the bonds you have with your children. It was all in all, one of the best books I've read.
so I couldn't keep it to my self and am sending it to a friend on one of the message boards I post at often.
Pick up this book and read it. Yes in parts, it is very depressing and at times I had to put it down because of it and take a break because it was making me to sad and mad at the same time. But once I finished , i was so glad I read it.
