A review by cjsjellybean
Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult

2.0

Sadly this is the lowest I've ever rated a Jodi Picoult novel. I was so excited to pick up this book at a recent discussion and book signing Jodi gave in Washington DC. I started the book the next day and felt like I just dragged myself through it just to say I finished it. When the book starts, the main person in the book, Luke, is already in a coma. There is no "leading up to it" or getting to know him first. It was like we were already in the heat of things which I really did not like. Since it went straight into fighting over what to do with Luke, I didn't really have much of a chance to get to know the characters outside of how they felt about end of life stuff, so I felt completely detached. I didn't feel emotionally connected to a single character which is something I always feel with Jodi's books. The story somewhat picked up in Part Two but it still wasn't enough to make this a great book.
