About halfway done with Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult. It's a very very nice read. You know, sometimes, when you read certain books.. it just makes you feel different. You get a little emotional, judging the characters and all. Sometimes you wish you could do something to help some of the characters, or plan out a devious deed to smite the assholes.Ya, been awhile since I read a book that makes me go like that. I can't quite put my finger on it, I don't even roughly know -why- the book has managed to capture my attention. It just did.
Basically, it's about a really screwed up family. As usual, the husband is seeing another women, yes they have a 7 year old child. Wife suffers from clinical depression, divorce is filed etc.
But one thing. The child starts seeing God, performs miracle healings and has a stigmata.
Now, I'm an atheist. (By some freak coincidence, one of the main characters is a tele-atheist named Ian.) I originally thought it'd be some book glorifying Christ. Needless to say I was wrong. Anyone can pick it up and give it a go. (Unless you're some truely devoted Christian/Catholic who frowns upon Harry Potter and think Pac-man is demonic.)
On a more boring note, we pushed Blackwing Lair for 4hours+ today. God I'm tired. Razorgore down. Vaelastrasz down. Broodlord Lashlayer down. No drops for me. GG. Oh yea, my mouth still hurts.
did i do the right thing? hope everything's okay and not just a web of deceit...
