Lone wolf

Jodi Picoult is not the author for me. I knew that when I picked up this book, having already not been a fan of 2 previous books of hers. But I won this one in a give-away, my kindle broke, and I had this laying around so I decided I should actually read it. So here are my criticisms:

1) Luke's Chapters - So boring! The first few were interesting, I liked getting his back story told from his perspective, but after awhile I just started skimming them because none of it was really essential to the plot.

2) Cara - She's awful. Very much the “nobody understands me!” whining teenager attitude through the entire book.

3) Georgie - Pretty much useless.

4) This book (and I feel this way about all the Picoult books I read) tries so hard not to be predictable but of course it is. Picoult always does some sort of twist ending, it's formulaic at this point. So from page one I'm always thinking in the back of my mind “What's the twist?” This one was especially easy.

The only character I really enjoyed was Cara's step-father, Joe. Edward, Cara's brother, was annoying in the beginning (this family thinks nobody could ever understand them) but toward the end was just meh.

Also, apparently a lot of the wolf stuff Picoult included is totally bullshit which is annoying if only because she wasted so much time on it in the book.
