Good reads Rating: 2*


It’s been well over a year since I’ve read a Jodi Pilcoult book, and I’ve ever only read My Sisters Keeper, which I ended up giving away. So any way. In March I picked up some of her books because they were only $2, at the goodwill book store.  

Delia Hopkins was raised in rural New Hampshire by her widowed father Andrew, she now has a young daughter, a fiancée, and her own search and rescue dog, who helps her find missing people. As Delia plans her weddings she is getting flashback of a life she can’t recall until a police officer knocks on her door and tells her the truth. Over the course of the book Delia faces some harsh realities and must find out who she really is.  

I decided on reading Vanishing Acts. I liked the whole concept of the book because of the blurb but felt as if it was a slow start. I did get in to a bit of a reading slump while reading the book that I read another. 

I am someone who either loves or hates multiple people narrating a book and this is one of those that I hate. It has way to many people narrating it that it gets way to complicated and confusing.  

This book is seriously all over the place. The four ‘main’ characters have a chapter each, and then it moves on to the next part of the book, But I have found that within the chapters the person who’s chapter it is I can’t keep up with them because they are all over the place.  

The concept of the book is great but I felt bored. I read other books while reading this book and just felt bored. It’s the only way I can explain it. 

It’s the 24th book I have read this year which makes me complete my 24 books of the year.
