Book Review: Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult

I used to be a Jodi Picoult fan.

I LOVED her book

My Sister's Keeper.

I liked her book

The Pact.

And then I felt like

I just could not find another book I liked by her.

I started and failed to finish several of her books.

Sing Me Home intrigued me, though,

because the novel came with music and you all know

that I love music.

So, I bought the Nook version,

downloaded the songs

and was excited to see if I would like this story.

I didn't.

It is not that the story itself was bad...

it was a bit heavy on the religious and gay/lesbian rights soap box,

but it was that I felt like I KNEW how the story was going to end up.

I feel like Jodi Picoult has one roadmap for her novels 

and once you have read one or two of them,

you know the route like 

you would know the route to your favorite hang-out...

You can get there with your eyes closed.

To be honest, I found this novel boring.

I found the characters to be underdeveloped

and the story line predictable.

I found the soundtrack horrible.

And I was sad that I paid for it to be on my Nook.

I did add some quotes from the book that stuck out to me

on my quotes page if you like that kind of thing,

but that is about all I got out of it...

some quotes.

I suggest not wasting your time with this one.

I am now reading 

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

and I am liking it so far.

It has more character development in the first chapter

than this book ever did in the whole novel.
