Second Glance- Jodi Picoult


I'm still trying to get through Second Glance by Jodi Picoult. It doesn't really help that I haven't really had time to read and get into it, but it's kinda boring. It's also kind of confusing because it switches back and forth between characters so much that I still don't know who everyone is. There are two guys that I can't ever differentiate from, the guy who lost his wife in a tragic accident, and the guy who keeps trying to kill himself. They might be the same person but you can't tell because there is only a paragraph to a page written about them at a time. And some of the things in the book are just wierd, for example there is this boy who is allergic to the sun. He gets burned even being inside, so they have to cover the windows and stuff. And he's nocturnal. So he goes out and skateboards at like three o'clock in the morning. I don't know I think the book might get good once I understand it, but right now it's just too confusing and odd for me.

Second Glance- Jodi Picoult


I just started reading Second Glance by Jodi Picoult. So far I'm not really sure about it. It's kind of wierd. There's a guy named Ross, who lost the love of his life Aimee in a car crash. And he's kinda messed up. He tries to commit suicide a lot, but for some reason he never succeeds. The first line of the book is, "Ross Wakeman succeeded the first time he killed himself, but not the second or third. He's been struck by lightning, which should have literally boiled his insides. He's been mugged, and shot in the back, which also should have killed him. And lastly, he's driven his car off a bridge, and none of this had killed him. So I don't really know if I like the book yet because I don't understand it. So I'll have to get back to you on this one.
