Product Description
Jodi Picoult's novels have been hailed as "engrossing" (People) and "addictively readable" (Entertainment Weekly). Now, the author of Salem Falls and Plain Truth examines the fault lines of a troubled marriage in Picture Perfect-an "unfailingly intelligent...undeniably literary psychological drama."(Booklist)
"Picoult writes with an all-knowing and piercing eye. Hers is an important book from a talented writer we hope to hear from again and again." (Library Journal)

 Good Read August 30, 2008
This addresses the battered woman syndrome explaining why some continue to stay in these relationships.
 Not so perfect! August 17, 2008

I have read every one of Jodi's books except MERCY. I enjoyed all of her books except this one and Songs of the Humpback Whale. Both of these were her earliest novels, and her writing and stories have come a long way over the years.
This book is confusing & disappointing. The central character, Cassie, is amnesic, yet she does remember some things. It is never clear how the amnesia occurred or how she comes to recover from it. I felt that there was far too much going on in the story: Hollywood life, Indian Mythology, anthropology and then add to that the domestic violence theme. The story goes back and forth between the present, the past, the memories, and leaves readers (at least me) lost in the middle.

Jodi Picoult has written a page turner that has you on the edge of your seat. I felt a range of emotion while reading the book. I couldn't put this book down and read it in record time. Great book!!
Best Jodi Picoult Novel August 6, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the seventh novel I have read by Jodi Picoult. I really enjoy all her books but this is definitely my favourite. The characters are such enchanting from Cassie Barrett to Will Flying Horse and even Alex Rivers. This novel does not get as much publicity as the others but I recommend it to everyone and anyone. Read it you will not be disappointed. I'd also recommend, if you missed reading FATES BY TIN0, go and read it. Fates (classic) I discover it browsing through my bookstore and am reading it at a rapid pace because it's so addictive. Highly Recommend!

Officer William Flying Horse is new to the Los Angeles Police Department. The job is quite a bit different from his last place of employment, the Indian reservation on which he grew up. As the child of a white mother and Native American father, Will has always had problems fitting in, the white kid on the reservation, the Indian guy to the rest of the world. The night before he starts his new employment, he discovers an amnesiac woman wandering the streets. The two bond immediately, as Will waits with Jane Doe until someone comes forward to claim her - a husband she can't remember, but who ensures her of the fairy tale life they have together. As you might imagine, however, fairy tales are not often as perfect as they seem.
Quote: "Jane closed her eyes and tried to conjure a face, a gesture, even the pitch of a voice. She shook her head. 'I don't feel married.'"
I am overall a Jodi Picoult fan, but I have not been impressed by the last couple of hers books I read. The plot twists seemed too obvious, the back-and-forth between characters too stilted. This book reminded me of why I enjoy her work so much. She looks into complex situations, complicated characters, and makes all of them understandable and relatable, the "good" ones and the "bad" ones. A great reminder of all things good about Jodi Picoult.
