This book was so powerful. Jodi Picoult has the power to evoke so many feelings relating to her stories. Throughout reading this, I found myself angry, heart-broken and relieved at different moments. This book had me questioning what I would do in the same situation. It is amazing how accurate she is able to capture the human condition and how one event can create a domino effect into the rest of your life. A very good read. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a book that will provoke you to question your own ethical dilemmas.

The pace of "Perfect Match" was good, and the narrative structure interesting and useful as a way to share the perspectives of the family members dealing with the great horror and sadness of the abuse. I found the characters believable and although many people wouldn't agree with Nina taking the law into her own hands, this is what made this such a good book. A little predictable in the beginning, but just when I thought I had it figured out, Picoult proved me wrong! The various surprises sprinkled throughout the book add to its depth and mystery.

I stopped reading very early on. The subject matter is just too much. I love Jodi Piccoult books and thought I would like this one as I have all the others, child sexual abuse stories are not stories to be read for leisure and I read for pleasure, this just could not be considered that. If you can handle this subject matter then I am sure you will like it.

I love most of Jodi Picoult's writing. This book was no exception. It was difficult reading at first with one of the main themes of the book being the sexual abuse of a five year old boy. That being said, it's (thankfully) not especially graphic, just very sad.
On the positive side, the characters were all very well developed, and true to Jodi Picoult, there are plenty of twists and turns in the plot. Just when you think you have it all figured out there is another surprise.

This is another Jodi Picoult novel that requires the reader to think about and possibly agree with a decision or position the reader never thought possible to side with. I haven't read a Jodi Picoult book that I have not been thoroughly drawn in by. She is an excellent author that writes through her different characters. So much dimension is given to each player. Ultimately this book is about a child and his mother and what extremes a mother can go through to protect her child.

In typical Jodi Picoult form, you find yourself siding with someone you would never have thought you might feel compassion for. However, I personally felt this book could have gone in a very different direction and, though written a few years ago, seems almost cliche in a few instances. I also felt that there wasn't enough content from the little boy. It was a good, engaging read though.

This was my first Picoult book. Her subject matter has always turned me off previously, I couldn't imagine how she could take such taboo subjects and make them interesting beyond just headine news. And now I understand what the attraction is. Her writing is smart, involved, and intelligent. We think a boy is molested by his priest, and his mother does murder the priest. But as the story unfolds, there is mystery about who the offender really is, the guilt of the mother, and even our own sensibilities about this type of crime are challenged. Picoult handles the subject with a few twists a turns I hadn't expected, adds a couple of characters that really make it interesting, and gives an ending that I never saw coming. I look forwand to reading more of her books.

This was a pretty typical Picoult book, well-written, keeps you turning the pages, and a little "over the top" - but I really liked this book! She almost lost me half-way through with the big twist thing and I think that was a bit much, but her books, while the characters always feel very "surface" to me - she doesn't seem to delve very deep - always strike a chord with me. They make you think - and hey, you even learn something! I didn't realize some things about DNA in this book until I read it (trying not to spoil it for you!) Well worth a read :)
A lovely story about a mothers love and the boundaries it will cross in order to protect her child. While you may not like Nina through out the whole story, you can not blame her for her actions. Only problem is Picoult's constant habit of having the unrequited, predictable love story based in childhood friendship. Overall a good read. I would recommend it to anyone who feels that they may need an entertaining read.
good read, but I found it a little hard to believe, but then truth is stranger than fiction.
Very emotional read. Try not to let it touch you too personally. I don't think I can read this book again although I learned so much from it. Picoult remains one of my favorite authors, I do not give her books up to trade but I'll accept them ^_^
Jodi Picoult never dissapoints! How far would you go to protect your child? This compelling read explores that subject as Nina Frost, the local prosecutor, discovers that her five-year old son has been sexually molested. She has a well-respected position in the court system until she discovers who the molestor is, then all of her beliefs are turned upside down as she exacts her own justice for that horrific act.
I thought that this was a great read that I had a hard time putting down. The plot twists in ways that I didn't expect, all the way to the end of the book, and the characters were definitely the kind that you could relate to and understand. My only complaints is that it does get a little annoying that this author has so many stories with mothers being portrayed as a bit crazed and selfish and that in a time of crisis her marriage becomes at risk with someone moving out of the home. Other than that, I'm totally addicted to this author's stories and this one was no exception.
DISAPPOINTMENT IS ALL I CAN SAY.
Not her best novel, but a compelling story all the same. Picoult fans will be sure to enjoy it.
Another moral and ethical story. This amazing book was difficult for me to put down because right from the get-go there were things happening that I needed find out how Jodi was going to "handle this one". This is a story about a prosecuting attorney who takes the law into her own hands when she finds out her young son has been sexually abused. The twists and turns go right through to the end of the book. I will read this one again.
Jodi Picoult is one of my favorite authors - but this was not one of her best - for me. It was a slower moving story with not as many twists and turns as usual. The end does have a great twist that I was not expecting. Overall, just a so-so read.
This was a really good read with a couple of twists. However, it's somewhat heartbreaking to read.

Another amazing book from Jodi Picoult. This is easily one of my favorites from such a great author. I couldn't put this book down, and it just had that feel of knowing the characters. You felt their emotions.
Oh, this is another good one! Patrick, who appeared in _Nineteen Minutes_, debuted in this novel.
This is an emotional book about child abuse. It's quite well done and it also follows her, by now quite, tried-and-true courtroom finale.

Once I managed to get past the subject matter, its an excellent story. It's also an excellent lesson in working through every piece of a situation. VERY tough to read--especially if you have a child. But worth the ending...
As always Jodi Picoult gives deep emotion to a certain situation. Suspense and emotion are the only way to discribe the book.
I'm normally a big Picoult fan, but this one missed the boat for me. It's reasonably compelling, as all her work is, but main character Nina is unjustifiable and unlikable at times, and the true ramifications of each plot twist aren't explored to the depth that I would have liked to see. Several of the core themes - what it means to be a mother, who and how we love - are articulated much better in 2005's Vanishing Acts.
Powerful story, good character development, unexpected twists.
This is the third Picoult book I've read. The first was "Small Great Things," bought at a garage sale and which I gave three stars; next was "Lone Wolf," which I got off a thrift store free rack and gave two stars. I bought "Perfect Match" at a thrift store closing sale. Picoult is a good writer but she is NOT a good storyteller. Nina, the protagonist, was a completely unlikeable character. I hadn't even gotten to the "incident" part and had already decided I disliked Nina--she seemed completely self-absorbed. In fact, I found myself getting angry because Nina was such an arrogant self-centered person. I stayed angry to the bitter end. The only reason I finished the book was because I was expecting there would be some redemption in the book (there wasn't).
Husband Caleb initially seemed to be a decent guy (and the better parent) but after a while he came across as a sap. Then there's Patrick, Nina's childhood friend who has carried a torch for her all along. I never "got" what was so dazzling about Nina that her husband was so besotted with her that he didn't object to her close friendship with Patrick; and that Patrick was so besotted with Nina that he was okay being on the periphery of Nina's life. Late in the book Patrick referred to Nina as a "goddess." To me she came across as a narcissist.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS: When Nathaniel's abuse is discovered and he quits talking, Nina decides to teach him sign language so he can still communicate. If I remember right, it took just one afternoon with a sign language book for Nina and Nathan to communicate pretty decently. I took ASL about 30 years ago in a community ed class and I don't remember it being that quick and easy. Then when Nathan signs "father" in response to who hurt him, Nina and the shrink immediately assume it's Caleb so Nina throws Caleb out of the house. I would not take the first word of a child, particularly one who had just learned some signs, that he meant that his dad had hurt him. I would do a lot more probing and, I would suspect that a reputable shrink, counselor, etc. would do the same. Anyone remember the child sex abuse scandals of the 1980s (https://www.thedailybeast.com/what-fueled-the-child-sex-abuse-scandal-that-never-was)? Lives were ruined by unfounded allegations based on the assumption that children don't lie. While Nathan wasn't lying, he was also not clearly communicating what he meant.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS CONTINUED: When the parish priest is subsequently accused, Nina shoots him in the head at his arraignment and then does/says various things so she can claim insanity and get off. Although the initial DNA test identifies the priest as the perp, it later turns out that it wasn't him which was confirmed by additional DNA testing. When Nina learns this, she still feels she should be found not guilty. As her trial progressed, it seemed that Nina's conscience was getting to her and she was going to take responsibility for her misguided act. I expected that she would ask for a plea deal and would serve time. Nope. She decided she wanted to change to a bench trial even though the jury was deliberating. The judge decided she was justified in the shooting (never mind that she shot an INNOCENT man) and she didn't have to serve any additional time. I'm an attorney (although I have never done criminal defense or prosecution) and I was shocked that Nina would get off scot-free. Chances of that happening in the real world are very slim.
END OF SPOILERS
I also found it hard to believe that Patrick, who was a police officer, would be allowed to work on an investigation that involved Nina's family. That certainly would be a conflict of interest. The personal life of Quentin Brown, the special prosecutor, added nothing to the story. I also thought the title of the book was odd--wasn't sure how it fit with the story. Then after the final twist, which appears in the last two pages of the book, is revealed, I figured that "Perfect Match" must refer to Nina and Caleb, who are perfect for each other because of what each did to "protect" Nathan.
I think what Nina and Caleb did to "protect" Nathan would be far more damaging (in the long run) for Nathan than the incident that set everything in motion.
I have another Picoult book ("Sing You Home") which I got from a Little Free Library a while back. If that book is of the same "quality" as the ones I've read thus far, I probably won't be reading any more of Picoult's books.

Another great story from Jodi Picoult with her usual twists and turns, intense situations, and ambiguity that prevents you from looking at a situation strictly in black and white.
For the most part, I enjoyed this. The only thing that I really did not like was (and this applies to Salem Falls, too) how sometimes the story seemed to bend to the point of almost unbelief in order to make the plot happen. The court scenes and the judge sometimes taking the defendant's side were at times very unrealistic to me.
All in all, still a good story that I enjoyed reading from start to finish, but perhaps not my favorite by this author by any means.

In the first few pages, as I have found in most of her books, I am wondering if I want to continue, but the story reels you in very quickly and becomes a book you don't want to put down. She does often deal in contraversial subjects and weaves a great story around it.
I enjoyed the book, though it wasn't one of Picoult's best.
This is one that I really enjoyed reading. It keeps you wondering if the mother with get away with the murder. It makes the reader really thing about the bond a mother has between her children and what extremes a mother will take if pushed.
hard to put this one down. disturbing plot but very thought provoking. who knows what they are capable of if their child is raped? and what an indictment of the legal system and it's treatment of the victims. an eye opener in that regard.
i do recommend it but it can be difficult to take at times.

I just LOVE this author! This is another great book by Ms. Picoult! From the back cover:
In the course of her everyday work, career-driven assistant district attorney Nina Frost prosecutes child molesters and works determinedly to ensure that a legal system with too many loopholes keeps these criminals behind bars. But when her own five year-old son, Nathaniel, is traumatized by a sexual assault, Nina and her husband, Caleb, a quiet and methodical stone mason, are shattered, ripped apart by an enraging sense of helplessness in the face of a futile justice system that Nina knows all too well. In a heartbeat, Nina's absolute truths and convictions are turned upside down, and she hurtles toward a plan to exact her own justice for her son--no matter the consequence, whatever the sacrifice.
A fabulous read!

I didn't read this book because I really couldn't read a book about a child molester.
