The Tenth Circle by Jodi PicoultMy review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was my first Jodi Picoult book and I have to say I enjoyed it tremendously. I had trouble putting it down. I thought that the characters were very strong and very believable.
The book revolves around a young teenage girl who is raped. And it does get you thinking how you would react if you were that childs parent.

Author Synopsis
When Daniel Stone was a child, he was the only white boy in a native Eskimo village where his mother taught, and he was teased mercilessly because he was different. He fought back, the baddest of the bad kids: stealing, drinking, robbing and cheating his way out of the Alaskan bush – where he honed his artistic talent, fell in love with a girl and got her pregnant. To become part of a family, he reinvented himself – jettisoning all that anger to become a docile, devoted husband and father. Fifteen years later, when we meet Daniel again, he is a comic book artist. His wife teaches Dante’s Inferno at a local college; his daughter, Trixie, is the light of his life – and a girl who only knows her father as the even-tempered, mild-mannered man he has been her whole life. Until, that is, she is date raped…and Daniel finds himself struggling, again, with a powerlessness and a rage that may not just swallow him whole, but destroy his family and his future.
The Tenth Circle wasnt my favorite. Too many unfinished questions and not as intriguing as many of her others such as The Pact & My Sisters Keeper.
