Keeping Faith Audiobook

" The story line did not evolve the way most of her other books do. I finished the book but did not enjoy it. There was nothing unexpected about it. "

" I'm so glad I'm finally done with this book. Usually, I really enjoy Jodi's thought-provoking stories. I was really disappointed with this book. It was difficult to get in to, the characters were hard to identify with, and the story overall seemed too unbelievable. I had a hard time liking the main character Mariah and that made it difficult to want her to succeed and be happy. If the story had included more from Faith's (the child) point of view, I may have been able to get into it a little more. Definitely wouldn't recommend this one. "

" I found this book hard going & it seemed like forever to get through. This was my first time reading one of Jodi Picoult books & i probably made the wrong choice for a first go at hers. "

" It was OK. I thought the ending was confusing. "

" Jodi Picoult, author of the international bestseller "My Sister's Keeper, is back with an another blockbuster! It is about a girl named Faith, and how she starts reciting bible verses even though she never even opened a bible and claims that she has a new invisible buddy. Her mother, Mer, starts panicking. The book is in many perspectives, including Faith's 'unfaithful' dad, Mer, and a pro-atheist who is determined to disprove Fatih when she starts to claim that her invisible friend is in fact, God. Things don't always go the way Mer wants to, and she and her husband goes into a bitter custody battle. Through a terrible divorce and caring of an abnormal child, Mer and the other characters learn about how much faith they have in their family and themselves. This book is for mature audience due to some 'crude' language, so preferrably 12 and up. The mature language is one thing, but this phenomenal read will make you cry, laugh, bite your fingernails, and gasp in terror. Jodi Picoult doesn't fail to weaves a wonderful story of love, hope, and yes, faith. "I realized several weeks ago that Faith wasn't nearly as safe as I'd thought." (Mr. White on his daughter, pg 390) "

" Not my favorite of the Jodi Picoult books. I really didn't like the main character, Mariah, all that much. Really interesting plot line, as usual for this author. I just wish it had panned out a bit better. "

" Not Picoults best book but was very interesting... the only reason I couldn't get into it too much was because of all the religion and faith stuff,great characters once again. the best bit of the book was the court hearing to see which parent would keep faith in the end. loved the process of the court from both sides... "

" Faith makes you keep going. That is one thing I always wanted to believe and this book kind of made it a step further. "

" I rarely read a book and then rate it one star, it is just that there is no rating lower. I only read this all the way through because a dear friend wanted my "take" on the ending. I admit i did the "evelyn wood" thing through the middle and all of the trial. This was torture. I had read a couple of Picoult's books in the past and remember liking the moral question/challenges. This had none of that. Characters were poorly developed and unbelievable. The drama was contrived and completely predictable. It was like reading a bad bad romance novel. This may even be the one that makes me never read another Jodi Picoult book again. YUCK "

" Yet another engrossing read by Jodi Piccoult. "

" Nothing special, but not a terrible book, either. "

" Somehow I expected the ending to be in that way. But while I was progressing with the story, there were many kinds of endings that I could conclude with. This book has really got me thinking on the issues that surround one's belief. "

" I love Jodi Picoult but this is not one of my favorites. "

" I really enjoy Jodi Picoult's writing, and this one kept me reading. She makes characters real and the imagery just enough and the story pretty sensational, but well woven and suspenseful. "

" Really didn't like it !!! "

" Disjointed narration and a little predictable but not as farcical as some of her other courtroom dramas. The topic was interesting. "

" Really good book. I like the play on words for the title! "

" A little too much like The Green Mile in some ways.. "

" Another great book from Jodi Piccoult. She never let's down the reader with her powerful, thought-provoking ideas. I love how each of her books makes the reader questions their own morals and what they may do in a certain situation. "

" Compared to her other ones, so and so. "

" Enjoyed it although it had a convenient happy ending. "

" Typical Picoult. I would have liked it better, had the story been actually about little Faith instead of the mom, the tele-athiest, and, of course, their ensuing love affair. Gag. "

" awesome book. painful as always "

" Engrossing, well-researched story. You care about the characters and their issues. Not sure how I feel about the ending. Cheated? Cop-out? "

" I enjoyed this one. Keeps you wondering... "

" Lame ending... "

" I enjoyed reading this book thought it was great. "

" Jodi stays true to her 'thought provoker' title with this beauty. "

" I would've given this book 4 stars, but the middle third of the book seemed interminable. "

" This was another book i came across when looking through the shelves at my school library. Simply fantastic! Not many books, i have read was about God and the Messiah in a novel. It truly attracted my attention when reading it. "

" Snoozefestival. Do not read this book. "

" I enjoyed this one. Keeps you wondering... "

" Wasn't quite sure what I thought of the entire plot - or the ending - but anything by Jodi Picoult is hard for me to put down. "

" Great book. Jodi Picoult manages to pull you in from the very beginning. Interesting religious views and makes you think about what you believe. "

" Had to read this before Chnage of Heart.<br/><br/> "

" This was a good story and a great narration. Must get more audiobooks read by the women (I think there were two) that narrated this book. The story itself was pretty good. At least, it held my attention on a long road trip, and that was the purpose. "

" This book is in my top 5 favorite books of hers. It was so interesting and sweet. "

" This book was way to weird for me. I stopped reading halfway through. I couldn't get through it. <br/>A girl who sees and talks to Jesus and mimics his hanging on the cross wounds? Weird. "

" It was a good story, but I am still confused with the ending, I am not sure I liked it.. "

" Even though I read this a while back, I remember loving every bit of it and I'm out to buy another copy for my shelf, I just know this was such a beautiful story. "

" It was a good book. It took me awhile to read and I wansnt really sure what exactly the endind was about. "

" Jodi is an amazing author. The books I have read by here are truly page turners. I could not read this one fast enough. I loved this book. "

" I was pretty bored until the trial scene at the end. "

" This book is like nothing else i have read before. <br/>The ending left mke questiong a bit but overall i loved it :) <br/>I think others will enjoy it too! "
