Daniel Stone gave up his artistic career to provide a comics-artist and stay at home for his ambitious wife Laura and their spoiled brat Trixie. When dream catch Jason Underhill breaks up with Trixie, to whom he never committed, she passes from denial to seduction during a wild frat party. Despite gentleman Jason's perfect record, everyone tends to believe Trixie when she claims to be raped by him, without any physical evidence. Much later, the ongoing investigation unearth a dark Stone family secret, but not in time to prevent another fatal tragedy. Written by KGF Vissers
I first read The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult a few years ago and really enjoyed it and have since read it several more times. It is a very good story with really interesting twists and very fascinating and complex characters. I was a more than a little disappointed to discover that they were making it into a Lifetime TV movie.
And just like I expected, despite the good story that certainly has the potential to be a solid movie, it was transformed into a cheesy and poorly acted Lifetime flick. As you watch, you feel indifferent towards the characters and bored with the clichéd plot. Amazing how this great book could be turned into yet another run-of-the-mill Lifetime movie with the same worn storyline and boring characters.
