Publisher's Summary

New York Times best-selling author Jodi Picoult shares a powerful novel about the unbreakable bond between parent and child, the temptation to play God, and the dangerous repercussions.

Fourteen-year-old Trixie Stone is in love for the first time. She's also the light of her father Daniel's life - a straight-A student; a pretty, popular freshman in high school; a girl who's always seen her father as a hero. That is until her world is turned upside down with a single act of violence. Suddenly everything Trixie has believed about her family - and herself - seems to be a lie. Could the boyfriend who once made Trixie wild with happiness have been the one to end her childhood forever? She says that he is, and that is all it takes to make Daniel, a seemingly mild-mannered comic book artist with a secret tumultuous past he has hidden even from his family, venture to hell and back to protect his daughter.

With The Tenth Circle, Jodi Picoult offers her most powerful chronicle yet as she explores the unbreakable bond between parent and child and questions whether you can reinvent yourself in the course of a lifetime - or if your mistakes are carried forever.

Different but same

Good story but the voices are ones used to read her other books and it’s hard not split the old characters from the new ones.

Disappointed, usually a fan

Not quite up to Jodi’s usual standard, disappointed in the story, narration didn’t help, quite monotonous.

The tenth circle

Easy to listen to. I didn’t want it to end. I love how I am both taught and entertained by Picoult’s books

Just not quite right

I’m a fan of Jodie Picoult but this was hard to get into. Very long chapters and when listening, it’s hard to know when you’ve moved to a different setting. There were two clear parts to the story but these weren’t sign posted. It’s hard to explain but I just didn’t get into this one, although I did listen right through.

wasn't into it.

there are some (not many) of jodi picoult's books that from the first few chapters just don't grab me (unlike sing you home and the storyteller and the pact and handle with care are some of my favourites of hers) and this is sadly one that just didn't grab me after listening to 4 maybe 5 chapters . i may come back to it later on but for now i'm giving this one a pass.

I found this a little monotonous towards the end

I got really bored towards the end, and the ending came out of nowhere which wasn't teally an ending at all after listening for all those hours. I was disappointed. The narrator is excellent.
