Jodi Picoult marathon.
Don't know what took me so long but I finally picked up a Jodi Picoult novel in the Salt Lake airport. By the time I got home I had read 250 pages of My Sister's Keeper and finished it up this morning. It was an awesome, heart-wrenching, take-me-to-another-place novel. It was so good I had to go to the used book store today to stock up on as many of her other books as I could. Already started another one: The Pact.
Been waiting to find a new author I could devour like this one...

Also one of my favourite authors - 'Nineteeen Minutes' is as good as 'My Sisters Keeper" in my opinion - heart and gut wrenching stuff. Glad you're enjoying her books.

I discovered her novels in October & they are amazing. I am pleased you don't have to read in any order & that each are individual but all heart wrenching & soul searching.

I have just picked up my first Jodi Picoult novel. I have had a bit of a mental breakdown and after nearly two years I am just being able to read novels again. I am reading Plain Truth, and can't wait to get back to it tonight.
Enjoy Ali

I love my Sisters Keeper. The end just leaves you stunned...then devestated. I would still cry about it days after I finished it.
Summer is the best time for books.

ali-
i've read every single one of jodi's books.
they kill me b/c it's always about what seems like everyday, normal life...but with a moral dilemma/horrible twist.
hope you love her as much as i do.

Hey Ali - you should really read Water for Elephants. It just released in paperback. You will surely devour it. It is one of the best fiction books I have ever read. It will inspire you. Trust me. Get this book.

Ali,
I had the exact same reaction to this author. Just picked up one book one day, read it in about a day, then went back and bought everything she's written. I love her and she really touches me too!
Enjoy her books!

"My Sister's Keeper" is one of my all-time, favorite reads. Disturbing, real, and oh-so-right-on-target on so many levels. Glad you enjoyed it!
