By far my favorite book of Jodi Picoult's. I thought Plain Truth was my number one, but after reading The Pact, I've found a new number one! At first I wasn't sure that I would like the way the book was laid out with the "Now" & "Then", switching back and forth. But I came to realize after I was continuing to read and finished the book, that's what made the book so great. I loved going back "Then" because it gave you the truth and a walk through their life and how they became to where they are "Now". I really enjoyed this book. I was so engrossed in it everytime I read it. I couldn't put it down and got very amped when I could read it! It was a happy/tragic journey reading this book, and it is something that could happen. It was amazing how you could actually feel how the characters felt and understand their pain just through words. I can't get into everything I'd like in this review without spoiling anything for other people. This is a must read book!

“You know, Michael, I used to sit around looking for a way to make sense of what happened, like there was some kind of answer I could find if I just looked hard enough. Then one day I realized that if there had been one, Dave would still be here. And I wondered if this...this feeling that I couldn't figure it all out...was what Dave had been feeling, too.”

She is an amazing writer, I've read a few of her other books and love her work! I was excited to find this book at the used bookstore. :)
Well good, I'm glad you love her work.:)And nice find, BTW.
Hi, Sammy!Are you still enjoying this one?
Hi Dustin!Yes I'm still enjoying and unfortunately still reading only because I'm reading my school books more than anything :-( But trying to read as much as I can, thanks for asking! ;-)
You are very welcome, Sammy.:)I'm glad you're still enjoying it.
What classes are you taking?
Right now the the classes I'm following taking are: Medical Terminology, Psychology, Western Civilization, and Organizational Behavior for this quarter. I'm majoring in Medical Coding and Billing an Associate’s Degree. Right now I have a week left then finals, but the good thing is I have two weeks off before the next quarter starts. :-)
Wow! Sounds like you have quite the case load... no wonder there isn't much time for leisurely reading, eh?
Nope, there isn't to much leisure reading time as I'd like to have :/
Hi again, Sammy!How have things been going?
Are you still really enjoying The Pact? How's that going?
I'm very much looking forward to reading your review, Sammy.
Though I've read My Sister's Keeper by Picoult, I feel confident in saying that you can't ever go wrong with any of her work. She's just an amazing writer, IMO!
