The Tenth Circle

The book The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult is a story about a couple with such an average life, meeting each other, having a baby. It explains how no matter how average your life may seem or how happy someone looks. Thing could be completely opposite. Even when you are in a relationship with someone how do you know you really know someone. Or where they come from. This book also shows you that you should never under estimate what a parent would do for their kid. It shows that you should never judge because you don’t know what people have been through, or how many people are trying to start over and have lived a totally different life. In the book, the daughter Trixie goes through something terrible, obviously not going to tell you. But right after that you start to see a major change in her dad and how he was in the past. The person that trixie never saw and got to know started to come out. Secrets started to come out. I think that after that trixie had a better understanding of her dad.

          The theme to this book is very dramatic. It keeps you on your toes. A literary element is flashbacks. Throughout the book, they keep referring back to the past. It helps you understand their lives better and you find out more and more about certain characters that you didn’t know about before. Especially more of their secrets from their past.

          Overall this  book is amazing. When I first read it I couldn’t put it down. When I talk about it I try to be brief because its one of those books that you want to tell someone about. Where you feel like you cant tell them a good part without going into too much detail. I think its strengths is that there is a lot of action and always keeps you on your toes. You always want to read what is on the next page or what her dad has been hiding or find out something more about his past. The weakness to this book is that in a couple parts they drag it out. They seem to go too deep into something and it feels like your reading the same thing that you read a couple sentences ago. But that doesn’t happen often, at all. I would recommend this book for sure! But not just to teenage girls. Anyone guys girls old young. Its an easy read and its an amazing story that honestly you don’t read a lot. Honestly this is my favorite book and I want everyone to read it
