  Throughout the literary critic of The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult, the main argument supported by author Lourdes Orive was the point that Picoult's writing opens up a new way to telling the story and is not afraid to go out on a limb and try something different. Throughout the analysis, Orive describes the way in which one of Picoult main trademarks in her writing is shifting in narrative voice, which is displayed in The Tenth Circle as well as several of her other novels. Also, the author states the way in which Picoult uses varied landscapes to draw more attention to her readers and create depth in her writing. "Her novel proves that she's willing to take chances, not only through the incorporation of graphic novel elements, but through her unique way of tackling resolutions." (Orive) Orive goes on to state that the incorporation of comic book art as well as a "story within a story" that Picoult creates, sets the reader up for an adventure that travels throughout the entire novel. "Strip away all of the marketing and publicist trappings behind this author's name, and what you'll find is a well-crafted novel and a smart writer who's not afraid to try something different and go out on a limb." (Orive) This statement is displayed as a positive outlook that is consistent throughout this entire critic. The author poses as a supporter of various works by Picoult and it can be assumed that the author has had previous experience with her work and her style of writing. The way in which Orive uses specific examples as well as direct assumptions throughout this critic also shows the way in which they are supportive of Picoult's work.
