Keeping Faith | Paperback

I have read most of Jodi Picoult's books and I had this a while before reading it. I wasn't sure if I would like it as much as the rest but really enjoyed it. The subject matter is a little different but it's so eay to get into and once you start it, you can't stop. All fans should read this book

this is the first Jodi Picoult book I've read and is extremely good. Very well written and the story line keeps you hanging onto her every word all the way through the book. I've never read a book that is so fantastically controversial in the way that it's told and made for a thoroughly enjoyable read. However the ending was a little confusing and did leave a few things unanswered.

Jodi Piccoult is an amazing writer who never let's us down. This book is no exception. I, and many, many friends whom I have recommended the book to, have thoroughly enjoyed it! It's absolutely brilliant, as are all of Jodi's books. Really brilliant!

Piccoult's novel, 'Keeping Faith', is no great literary achievement [without being pedantic, she uses the descriptive phrase 'salt and pepper' in not one but several metaphors, and she is far from adverse to cliche], but its plot, if not its prose, certainly pulls the reader through its pages.
'Keeping Faith' [the ambiguous title referring to both its eponymous hero and the act of maintained belief] grapples with a subject that is becoming more controversial the more secular society gets; religious visions. Piccoult realistically portrays the skepticism with which a modern citizenship might react to a seven-year-old girl claiming to converse with 'God', and, to her credit, doesn't shy away from exploring the religious opposition either. In an age where religion is associated with quacks and sentimentalists, Piccoult does well to remain objective, and it feels as though she gives both the athiests and the fervent believers their fair share of page space.
The dialogue is a little far-fetched at times, and the 'romance' has more than a touch of the 'Mills and Boon' about it, but at the heart of this story is a well-researched and balanced plot that, presenting its evidence and refraining from judgement, allows the reader to draw their own conclusions. Definitely worth a read.
