Keeping Faith by Jodi Picolt

This was a good read, it brought up some interesting questions about religion, but I feel the ending did not really answer all the questions. Why did Faith just suddenly stop performing miracles? Was it really a happy ever after? It also made me quite angry about the idea that we have to suffer when we get close to God. Is this just a Christian perspective? Or do other religions belive in suffering?

 

by Robert GoddardName to a face was the latest mystery from Robert Goddard, and although it mentions an ancient mystery, it did not grip me as much as his other novels, In Pale Battalions being his absolute best in my opinion. I feel this novel just rumbled on with the usual characters just different faces. The ancient mystery seemed to just stumble in and out of the story without any real purpose. The way it was connected seemed to be at best tenuous. Still a good read nevertheless. Just wish he would go back to his historical novels. Medium Allison Dubois

Just picked this up in the bookshop yesterday and could not put it down. As a fan of the television series, I wanted to know more. Alison comes across as a very down to earth person of integrity who wants to use her gift for the highest good. It is a fantastic insight into what it is like to be a medium, and written in a very engaging way. There is alot of love around Alison which comes across well. A really good read!
