Rating:  - Disappointment
I love Jodi Picoult's writing and the moral dilemmas she incorporates into her books. Tenth Circle, however, was too over-the-top.
Jason, the 17-year-old purported rapist was for me the most sympathetic character. He is a high school athlete with scholarship potential who hooks up with Trixie, a young 14-year-old girl. After Jason breaks up with Trixie, she says she will do whatever it takes for them to stay together. They separately attend the same party where Trixie gets intoxicated, ... Read More
Rating: - Not my favorite **SPOILER ALERT**
I was really excited about reading this novel and was slightly disappointed by it. I thought it was going to delve more into Trixie being a cutter and the problems being raped brought. It didn't. Picoult could have done so much with the plot but I felt like she didn't give it her all. As one review said, the plot deserved 5 stars but when it all came together it was only worthy of 3. I was really into it until the last few chapters (about the time Trixie ran away to Alaska).
I hate how Daniel ... Read More
Rating: - This book goes in circles, and leads nowhere
I had high hopes for 'The Tenth Circle', after being blown away by 'My Sister's Keeper'. Unfortunately, while that book had all the ingredients for great fiction-likeable, sympathetic characters, heavy, yet still believable drama, and a story that leaves a deep emotional impact on the reader-'The Tenth Circle' has almost none of those.
Most of the other critics have already pinpointed the book's biggest problem: lack of focus. Picoult never quite figures out what she wants this story to be about, and who ... Read More
Rating: - Not my favorite, but still worth reading
I've been a big fan of Picoult's for several years now, since I read Keeping Faith. Since then I've counted her among my favorite authors and enjoyed book after book, especially The Pact and My Sister's Keeper.
One thing I love about her books is that they are always so well-researched and run the gamut from light-hearted to gut-wrenching. There aren't many authors who so consistently keep me awake after a long day at work because I *have* to finish the chapter before I can go to sleep. And usually, ... Read More

THE TENTH CIRCLE by Jodi Picoult
July 22, 2008
Amazon Rating: 3/5 stars
THE TENTH CIRCLE has two main stories embedded in one. The main story is the one that follows the daughter, and the prologue involves Trixie getting lost as a toddler and her father freaking out, worried that she may have been kidnapped. This scene misled me to think the story would have a kidnapping scenario, but it didn't. It is hinted that this one experience maimed Trixie for life, and hurt her psychologically. ... Read More
