Keeping Faith

Such a great, emotional, and thought provoking novel. Highly recommend! !

This was the first book of Jodi Picoult's that I ever read...years ago. I loved it and it's the book that started my obsession with Jodi Picoult...my favorite author now. When I signed up for audiobook I thought, what the heck, I'm gonna "read/listen" again. The book itself was great. I'm not a religious person (agnostic) so it was really interesting to learn some new things about religion. The funny thing is that I liked it better when I read it rather than listening to it. I could not stand the narration. From the very beginning the narrator was so dramatic and whiny and the characters were annoying because of it...did not feel that way at all the first time I read it. There were two narrators, eventually. Every time the second narrator spoke I could deal, but then the first (and I don't know who's who as far as names) one came back and it was like nails on a chalkboard. But, I listened to it all anyways. It didn't ruin the book for me, but it came close, and it did make me realize that a narrator can make or break a book!
