Larger Than Life by Jodi Picoult

A novella to read in one sitting. This is the prequel to Jodi Picoult’s new novel Leaving Time.

Larger than life follows Alice, a scientist working first with monkeys and then with elephants looking at the complexities of memory and emotion. In the wild there is one thing you never do; interfere. Alice is put in a situation she can’t help but walk away from and then has to deal with the consequences.

I felt this was a good introduction to who Alice is and it came with a free sample of Leaving Time. Alice disappears one day and her daughter Jenna is determined to find out why.

3/5 stars
