The Pact

The Pact

By: Jodi Picoult

I liked this book a lot because it kept me interested and I didn't get bored.  People kept texting me when I was trying to read it and I got mad so I shut my phone off so I could understand what was going on. In the book these two teenagers were dating and she got pregnant and I got really mad at Emily when she wanted to kill herself because she got pregnant and it mad me think why would someone who just got pregnant kill themselves? Why wouldn’t they just have the baby and put it up for adoption because then she would still live and so would the baby if she didn’t want to keep the child. So it just frustrated me that she wanted to kill herself and the baby. Through out this book just made me mad because she told Chris that she wanted to kill herself and he AGREED! When the important parts of the book came up some of the words were in italics. Some big questions that came up in the text were abortion, suicide, and murder.  Is abortion good or bad? Should she commit suicide or shouldn’t she? She Chris kill her or help her? The whole book was pretty intense. I learned that if someone wanted to kill themselves no matter how much you love them you should still go get them help. The weirdest part of the book I thought was when Chris just agreed with everything and didn’t try to stop her. He took his gun that he has for hunting and just shot her because she couldn’t do it. It was just dumb because they were best friends and then they were dating and BOOM. Another weird part I thought was when she didn’t even tell him she was pregnant. I think this book is for everybody. It’s a good book and keeps readers interested.
