Synopsis
When is it right to steal a child from her mother? Jodi Picoult's explosive and emotive "Sunday Times" bestseller comes to paperback. Delia Hopkins has led a charmed life. Raised in rural New Hampshire by her widowed father Andrew, she now has a young daughter, a handsome fiance, and her own Search and Rescue bloodhound - which she uses to find missing persons. But as she plans her wedding, she is plagued by flashbacks of a life she can't recall. Then a policeman shows up at her door, arresting her father for the kidnap of a little girl. And Delia's past and present fracture into little pieces. "Vanishing Acts" is a book about the very nature and power of memory. It explores what happens when the past we have been running from catches up to us, and questions who we trust to tell us the story of our lives before we are capable of remembering it ourselves.

Hmmm. Didn't think too much of this one I'm afraid - not one of her better ones. Predictable storyline but not believable at the same time! Didn't like the characters much.

Anyway, this is going to Marlene at the Uncon from the raiders swap - hope you like it more than I!

I hope so too Giz.
Well I will be honest and let you know what I really think. I feel comfortable enough with you to do that :)

Thanks. After journalling all the books I have to be sure to check my shelf for the next raiding swap.

Well I guess I agree with you on this book gizzy.

The writing is sometimes so slow and it was boring on a lot of parts. I did want to know what happened so I finished it. I think this was my second or third book by this author, I did read My Sister's Keeper and liked that much better.
Thanks for sharing.

Got it from the English bookbox!

Journal Entry 7 by wingFifnawing at Voorburg, Zuid-Holland Netherlands on Tuesday, March 27, 2012
Well, I enjoyed this book. I like her style of writing and I don't seem to mind the way it plods along at times. But, having said that, I have also read My Sister's Keeper, and that made much more of an impact. At first I thought it was because of the controversial subject matter in that book, but having two small children, you'd think that this story about a child being kidnapped - a parent's worst nightmare - would jump up and grab me. Not so.
Anyway, a enjoyable read nonetheless and I will probably seek out more of her books.
