Ugh!! I finished this last night because I couldn't bear to spend another day of my life with this in my purse. So why did I read it? For the same reason that many young women read books they might not be thrilled with... I had to read it for my book club (...which normally picks much more intelligent and interesting books). As I mentioned to the person selecting the book when she solicited comments about her short list of options, I've never been tempted to read a Picoult book. I doubt...more

I started reading some of Jodi Picoult's books and I must say, I'm loving it. I love Keeping Faith and I love how I always can relate to a book that I choose. Keeping Faith is about broken marriage. When I started reading this book, all I could think about is my family. What if I had to go through broken marriage of my parents? In this book, it's like one of those book that gives you a slap in the face; realizing that when it comes to broken marriage, we should never dwell on it, but we should always move forward. "Keeping Faith," however is a good title for the book. It is not just about "Faith" a daughter's name but it's about the other meaning of faith (strong belief in something)

March 3rd, 2013
Keeping Faith has been the book I have longed to read for years. All the books that I have read so far, aren't so deep like this book; which is good for my case. I'm a very religious person and I believe in Faith. This book makes me wonder through the impossibilities in life; especially bringing me closer to God. For me, as of now, reading this book gives me the good kind of goosebumps. It helps me calm myself down especially going through broken marriage.

March 10, 2013
Keeping Faith is definitely one of those "life learning" book. It gives off inspiration and motivation for us readers to see that things do happen for a reason. Faith's parents marriage broke for a reason, and when Faith started to see God, or in other words calling God closer to her, miracles started to happen. What I don't like about this book is even though most of the books we read would make us wonder what would happen in the next chapter just like watching tv series, what will happen in the next episode? I didn't really like it when it kept me wonder even though books can sometimes be mysterious! But still, due to the pile of work I have, I wanted to continue reading this book because of the curiosities or questions I have in the next chapter. I guess I just don't like controlling myself especially when you're about to find out what happens next!

When Mariah and her daughter walk in on Mariah's husband with another woman, she thinks that this is the ultimate shock in her life...that is, until her daughter starts speaking in Bible passages. In any other child, this may not be startling; however, Mariah has raised her seven-year-old with no religion present in the household.

Things go from strange to miraculous as Faith begins spontaneously healing people, developing stigmata, and speaking with her "guard." Could Faith truly be speaking wit...more

This book was pretty good, overall. Definitely kept you reading, wondering what was going to happen next and, of course, WHY!? There were a few things that bothered me about it though. I think there were too many questions left unanswered. I understand that maybe this was purposeful, but I didn't like it, personally.

Keeping Faith is primarily a story about a young girl who suddenly starts seeing God and performing miracles. My impression was that readers would be allowed to come to our own conclusions about this (whether it was real, invented by Faith, invented by her mother for attention, etc.), but it doesn't work out that way: clearly, within the context of the story, Faith is healing people, experiencing stigmata and so forth. The story of how her mother Mariah, the local churches and the media react to...more

I love her other books, too, but this one hit me profoundly. This book captivated me right from the beginning. I read it for several hours straight, and when I could no longer stay awake to continue, I found myself constantly thinking about it throughout the next day. I couldn't wait to get back to it!

All of the main characters were compelling, but I was especially drawn to Ian Fletcher, whose transformation from the beginning of the novel to the end unfurled so beautifully. At first, you could not help but hate this atheist preacher with his pomposity and narrow-mindedness. Ugh. But then you discover Ian's twin brother Michael, which reveals a completely different side of him and partly explains the distant person he has become. I think I fell in love with Ian just when Mariah did—when she and Faith saw him interact so sweetly with Michael. Afterwards, when Mariah shows him just a little care and concern, she cracks his brittle exterior, and we discover this loving soul underneath. I don’t think I will ever forget the scene of Ian visiting Michael early in the morning, when he receives that incredible gift. I am tearing up again just thinking about it!

Totally by accident, I happened to read Keeping Faith right before the release of Change of Heart, and I was delighted to discover that Ian Fletcher was 'resurrected' in that novel. To me, Change of Heart was worth reading just to learn about how Ian, Mariah and Faith were faring since I last left them. Although I liked Keeping faith better than Change of Heart, I found both books captivating. As is the case in all of Picoult's stories, her meticulous research and character development make the story quite compelling. (And in Change of Heart, it was so refreshing to see Maggie, who is bright and funny but also overweight and insecure, land a handsome, sensitive guy. Hooray!)

Was anyone else moved by Ian Fletcher? I'd love to hear some other comments about him.

There is so much to recommend this book -- a unique, unexplored topic, great writing, realistic characters. The story of Faith, a seven-year-old who suddenly seems to be talking with God and working miracles, keeps readers enthralled as we attempt to figure out if she's the real thing or a charlatan. But as with several of Picoult's books, there are glaring holes in the plot that beg to be poked at and prodded.

Jodi Picoult's prolific and somewhat erratic catalogue of novels may be topped by the excellent "Keeping Faith." Picoult's story, as usual offers a major dilemma for her all-too-human characters. This time Mariah and Colin have just dissolved their marriage because Colin can't seem to keep his anatomy to himself when he gets around members of the opposite sex. Mariah, with Colin's blessing, will receive custody of their seven-year-old daughter Faith.

Initially, I found myself a bit chilled by this book. Even as I warmed up to the characters and the story, I still would have chilling moments where I was a bit unnerved by Faith's experiences.

Attimes this book made you say now wait a minute and there did seem to be flaws. But when all was said and done, it's another great book by Picoult. The daughter Grace seems to have some supernatural powers surrounding God. It was a quick read. Her books deal with different subject matter but I love all of them. She is a writer who pulls you into the story and you are there. In checking her out, I see she has several books I haven't read. I'll have some good reading material for awhile yet.

However, with Keeping Faith, I struggled to finish this book. Straying from her usual writing style in delivering a point of view from each main character, it almost seems out of character to have the narrator in this novel be omniscient and practically creates a feeling of disconnect from yourself (the reader) and the characters; in this novel in particular, I feel like it was particularly important to create a relationship with the characters to fully understand their stories and their points of view.

In Keeping Faith, the story revolves around a young girl, named Faith, who mysteriously begins to show signs of a higher power in her life, although she herself has never been overly religious. She develops stigmata, recites Bible verses, and performs small miracles. Her mother, Mariah, has growing concerns for her daughter and is determined to keep her safe and close through all the turmoil the controversy of Faith's happenings are stirring up. The two stick together throughout the novel, fleeing the press and desperate people who are determined to get close to Faith in the hopes of encountering a miracle themselves. They are joined by Ian Fletcher, a TV star who hosts his own show with the sole ambition of disproving miracles by God, a topic that is quite close to Faith during this time. Amidst the drama of trying her best to keep Faith safe and dealing with the professional atheist at their side, Mariah must deal with the heated custody battle involving Faith and her ex-husband.

Through a whirlwind of drama between the group, Ian working desperately to disprove Faith's miracles while growing closer and closer to Mariah, Keeping Faith does create a semblance of reality between the characters that is quite relatable while at the same time prohibiting the reader from truly understanding them with the limited narration the writing provides. There are times where the story drags on to the point where it is tough to continue on to the next part; the story between the characters is at times slow moving and provides details that are less than necessary.

On the flipside, Keeping Faith does remind us of important family values, the power of God, and the intensity miracles can bring to peoples’ lives. Jodi Picoult stays true to her ability to deliver a powerful message, just not as fluently in this novel.

Being a kid isn't easy when you have parents that have a poor relationshop. Faith, seven years old is definitely too young to face the situation of divorce or separation of her parents, but she have no choice. This situation affects her mom and her deeply, and it is not easy to go through the tough time.

Faith is a typical seven year old girl who had always believed that she is born to a happy family with a nice grandma, and two lovely parents. She loves her grandma and visits her often. Faith is also a ballet dancer, where she takes classes a few times a week. She have always been loved by her mom and dad. But, this have changed after a sudden incident. One day, after visiting her grandma, Faith forgot to get her Ballet clothes and went home before her classes. Faith and her mom was thrilled to see Faith's father who had returned from work that day, but suddenly another women comes out of her father's room's bathroom. At that point, Faith mom had broken down, and new that her husband had cheated on her. At seven years of age, Faith doesn't know what had clearly happened, she doesn't know what to do, and claims to have a imaginary friend. While Faith's mother is isolated at home, and depression surrounds her. What will happen next? Why does Faith have a imaginary friend? How will Faith's father respond? How will Faith and her mother life be like after this?

While reading this book, I felt like I was in Faith shoes. I can imagine what she is thinking, seeing, and feeling. I feel very bad for her to be facing this conflict at such a young age, but it isn't her fault. The author uses a lot of descriptive language, which I liked because it created pictures in my mind and I can see what was acutally happening in the book. I would definitely like to recommend this book. I would like to recommend it to teens because I think they can understand the conflict more, and it quite relates to teen issues.

This book is great, the author provides a unique plot with surprises and it is very entertaining to read. This book also teaches a moral to others, which is to make wise decisions in life, because a wrong decision can afect you forever negatively in life, and there may not be a way back.(less)

To the contrary, I thought it was a good book (not great, but good), just a little too slow for me. There were so many times I wanted to read, but I was bored with it, so I just put it down. I thought the story line was a good one, but there was so much unnecessary story added to it, that it seemed to drag on and on.

I thought Ian's press conference at the end was a total cop out. The entire book I spent wondering what he was going to say, what people were going to think when they heard him say it. I am disappointed in the way that played out. I've only read one other Jodi Picoult book (My Sisters' Keeper), but I also thought that story had a cop out in it too - which was the ending. It seems when there is an issue that everyone is thinking about, Jodi decides to play it safe and instead of taking a stand one way or the other, she takes the safe road and doesn't make a decision. That bothers me a lot.

I found Metz's cross exam on Mariah unrealistic as he was was badgering her and downright calling her a liar. Yet her attorney just sat there and hardly objected at all. Those questions, while it made for a nice story, never would have played out in a real trial. Mariah's attorney would have objected continuously and the Judge never would have allowed that line of questioning to continue. Also, the continuous adding of witnesses and exhibits at the last minute by Metz were unrealistic. Counsel submit witness and exhibit lists for a reason - exactly so that this "surprise" doesn't come up in trial. I doubt the Judge would have allowed either. In that regard, I found the Judge to be unrealistic.

I actually found myself questioning Mariah throughout the story. When everyone was wondering if she was hurting Faith, I myself was wondering if there was something we didn't know. Even though we, as readers, saw first hand the miracles that Faith performed, and her stigmata, it still seemed so unbelievable to me, that I thought the only thing that made sense was that Mariah indeed was causing Faith to behave in such a way. But perhaps that's just because I don't believe in god and so it didn't seem real to me.

I also thought there were sooo many characters. I couldn't keep any of the Preists straight and eventually stopped caring all together.

In the end, I will never re-read this book. I'm glad I'm *finally* done. And I guess in hindsite the story added very little value to my life. I'm not going to sit here and think about it anymore and that's usually the sign that the book wasn't that great overall.(less)
