Plain Truth......


This will be my third book by Judi Picoult and as usual, I am now bored with her writing. Unlike my partner Alan who can read every single book by his favourite author (Terry Pratchett) and never tires of their style, I can only do a maximum of three with each author.

I enjoyed Plain Truth and especially liked the insight into the Plain (or Amish) people but I struggled with finishing it and it took me far longer than the others I've read by JP one of which I read on a flight home from Las Vegas (The Pact - the best!).

Plain Truth is about an unmarried 18 year old Plain girl who is accussed of killing her new born baby. It's heart wrenching at times and wait for the final twist on one of the last pages - a good book but I think I just got tired of her writing so not up there with Her Sisters Keeper and best of all The Pact.
