"I'd been a fan of Jodi Picoult in the late 1990's, but I hadn't read anything she's written in recent years because her writing became too formulaic and less appealing. I'm surprised I bothered finishing her new novel, The Book of Two Ways. I gave one star because she did fairly well addressing the topic of death. But the story included boring bits of information about Egyptian burials and quantum physics, had sections which were entirely unrealistic, and the inconclusive ending was unsatisfying. Overall, it was not worth my time." - D. Zelamsky 1/4 stars. |
