Advantages: One of the best CD's ever.
Disadvantages: None

...'Keep the faith' is a must have CD for any rock fan regardless of whether they appreciate Bon Jovi or not. I base this comment purely upon the fact that this CD contains several classic hits that contain lyrics that poets would be proud of and musical accompaniment of the highest standard possible. The tracks I am talking about are 'Bed of roses', 'Dry county', 'In these arms', 'I'll sleep when I'm dead' and 'Keep the faith'. In fact all 13 of the tracks are brilliant. This CD is a must have..... Read review

...Keep the Faith is a different kind of album to what Bon JOvi normally produce. I cant put my finger on it, but the band seems to be more religious, or something. Oh well- doesn't matter anyway There are a variety of good songs on the album. "Keep the Faith" itself is now cemented in Bon Jovi fokelore and "sleep when i'm dead" was, as the band themselves admitted, their theme tune of touring in the early nineties. Possibly the heavist Bon Jovi tune ever produced could be "if i was your mother". This is actually a great song and coupled with "Bed of Roses", the main ballad on the album, there is the basis for a great album. There are a few weak links but these do little to take away from the overall good impression that the album gives off. Not bad at all... Read review

Advantages: Best album
Disadvantages: Havent found any yet

...This has to be the best album out although it is old it is better than the new Bonjovi stuff, such as his new album Crush which has about Four good songs on it. Keep the faith is the best album for any who wants to listen to Bonjovi and it isnt that hard either. The reason i think this is a good album to write about, is that the lyrics are superb and it brings out the talent in Bonjovi. I got this album when it first came out in '92' it was brought for a present. The songs that are the best have to be 'Keep the faith', 'Dry county'' and 'I'll sleep when i'm dead'.My point is if you can get this album get!.... Read review

Opinion - I am a big fan of Jodi Picoult having read My Sisters Keeper, Perfect Match, Mercy, amongst others. I love her style of writing and the way the book draws your attention so much that you cant put it down. Her characters are well thought out and you actually feel like you know them. However on first picking up 'Keeping Faith' I was quite... Read review

Advantages: Realistic, human characters, unique story, great writing and some intelligent devices
Disadvantages: Religion is always going to toss up arguments and controversy

...Unlike the better-known My Sister's Keeper and The Pact, the courtroom doesn't assume a major part in Keeping Faith and even draws itself into question. How many times have you heard something along the lines of "God has no place in a courtroom?" Have you considered how strange that is, considering that witnesses are expected to swear on the Bible? Jodi Picoult throws up all kinds of religious and spiritual questions in this novel, allowing the reader to muse over and debate them as much as the characters do. Keeping Faith certainly displays Picoult's talent for portraying complex issues without dictating to her audience. Faith White is a normal seven-year-old girl i
