Why I Don’t Like Jodi Pilcoult Books



I own 5 of her books and have read two of them. And two more I have tried and just couldn’t do it. 

I saw a quote that said “Books give me an escape from reality. Even if it’s only for a minutes” - Unknown. But I didn’t feel that with her books.  

* Characters 
Characters for me is such a big deal, I like to feel connected to at least one of the characters in the book but I couldn’t with any of the characters in Jodi’s books. I think it’s because she has so many charters having their own chapters and such a big gap between each chapter for that curtain character that it’s easy to get lost.  



* Chapters 
The chapters are so confusing, the length between characters are own chapters and the different text for each character is beyond annoying. 



* Font of the Text
I like the font of text to be consistent. I know it brings something knowing that you can tell the difference between charter but for me it’s confusing.  


I don’t think all of her book are bad, I haven’t read them all but I have tried to read two of her books and just couldn’t do it. What happened was I was reading Vanishing Acts, and all that happened was I got bored and confused by it. 

With a Change of Heart it started out really good but soon got confusing and hit with the multiple characters and fonts, and storylines that could have been told different. I have also read two other books and liked them. I wouldn’t say that they were great or anything but they were ok.  

Another thing I disliked was the additional characters input in curtain books that I tried to read. It got way to complicated and the additions to the book didn’t move it along. It just got complicated, boring, uncomfortable and unnecessary. I was hoping that it was down to one book, that I was unfortunate just not to like it, but it was all the books I tried to read.
