A review by jnlletrry
Songs of the Humpback Whale by Jodi Picoult
4.0
I don't know if it's because I haven't read a J. Picoult book in a while, and I had forgotten her genius, but I found the way this book was written was ingenious. The way Picoult set up the timeline to go back and forth in time until it met in the middle and was then a continuation of the story I had been reading the whole time. It just kind of blew my mind.
Picoult never ceases to amaze me. I was a little bored at the beginning with Oliver talking about his whales, but once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. The prose of all Picoult's books are written so beautifully and so vividly; her writing transports you into the novel.
This book, like all her others, was fantastic--a book about self-discovery and love knowing no boundaries . . . I just wish it would have ended differently, but I can always count on the conclusion's of Picoult's books to upset me. :)
