Vanishing Acts Audiobook

" It was ok. I got a little bored in the middle. Not sure how crazy I was about how quickly it kept switching back and forth between present and past. I was not as shocked about the ending as I usually am about most of her books. "

" cheesy, cheesy cheesy. I don't know why I felt it was necessay to finish it. Maybe it was the native american excerpts and I my background from New Mexico, but I kept with it. I will admit that that i scanned quickly thru the "romantic" narrative. Oh god, how emabarrassing for an almost 60 year old woman. I was expecially annoyed with the use of memory theory and weak indicator of Loftus studies for the DV and sexual abuse core. I have worked in DV for over 20 years and this kind of easy exploitation irritates me. "

" After reading five of her books, this one made me realize that maybe I need a break from her. I didn't finish reading it. I just felt like it has too much going on than I can handle. "

" One of her better books. Usually I think the endings are diportional to the middle (so much detail in the middle and then the entire problem is wrapped up in 30 pages). "

" 4 stars really means 3 3/4 ;-) Good. Just good. Not great. Fast read, convincing storyline, interesting characters. Perhaps too predictable? I hate finishing a book feeling like, "well, get to check that one off my list!" I'd much rather be wowed. "

" loved this .... but i have yet to find a jodi picoult book i havent loved :) like the way her books really let you get into the characters and understand why they do what they do. Which book of hers will I read next???? "

" Another great page turner. The thing I love about her books is her ability to show me a perspective that I already had an opinion on and then make me question how I actually perceive it. "

" I could do without the middle part of the story (the second subplot Jodi always throws in there was definitely not necessary this time), but as usual- it's an amazing book! "

" To many (weird) plot twists. "

" Very interesting good. "

" another great one by this author. is about a father who kidnaps his own daughter "

" Love anything with Jodi's name on it...but not my favorite of hers. Probably because the heroine lets things happen to her..the two heros are much stronger characters. "

" This book was my very favorite out of all the fifteen that shes written. very beautiful book. "

" I'd rate this book somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. A definate page turner With so many twists leading up to the end, but I found the different characters telling their stories through out the book, at times hard to keep up with. "

" This could have been a great book. The concept was great, and the potential mystery was intriguing. The delivery was lacking something. "

" It was a story that kept my attention. Woman grown up, with a daughter of her own, and alcoholic fiancee finds out her own father kidnapped her at the same age as her daughter is, and her mother was an alcoholic. "

" Not what I expected...this author is a good read. "

" I almost quit halfway through but it is picoult and I like her - but the story was just okay "

" Didnt really like this Picoult book. Didnt get on with the setting and the storyline didnt really engage me like her other books have. "

" pretty standard jodi, but a quick read and i liked the ending. "

" Definetely not my favorite, and I didn't connect with the characters very well, but it still sucked me in. "

" Loved it!!! A couple of parts were a little too predictable, thats why the 4 star. But the end was very good!!! Left you wondering, what will happen to these people. .... "

" It started great but it seams that at the last minute Jodi always pulls the same freaking card... Which is disapointing, specially being such a great story =o/ "

" Interesting, twisting plot. Kept me coming back, but not as uplifting as I prefer. "

" Normally I'm a fan of Picoult's efforts, but I didn't like this one, and that's all she wrote. "

" One of my favorites. None of my friends like Vanishing Acts as much as I do. "

" In true Picoult fashion, these characters sit in your living room and each tell you their story. Made the mistake of starting this at 10pm... I should know better as I can't put her books down. "

" Anders als wat ik normaal lees, wel mooi. Moest er wel even inkomen. "

" I can't stand reading about life in prison, it is so hard to read. "

" I agree with many of the other reviews, the plot got bogged down with the addition of all of the Hopi Indian spirituality...it just distracted and held the story back. I've read Picoult before and enjoyed her work, can't say the same for this one. "

" I love the way she writes, sometimes the paths the stories take are unusual or different, but I wouldn't change a thing because in the end of all her books I just want to sigh and sit back and remember! "

" This was pretty good read, although parts seemed a bit forced. The story flowed well, mostly. All in all I did enjoy reading it. "

" Got me through a day in airports, but just barely. "
