I've been slowly working my way through all of her books, but right now I've kind of taken a break from them. Probably because the topics are so intense. One of my favorites of hers is The Pact, probably because it hits the closest to home for me. I would love to read your review on it. :) I absolutely LOVE Jodi Picoult.

Ever since I read My Sister's Keeper, I have been addicted to Jodi Picoult's books. She really knows how to make kids realize of what there actions could do, that's what I love so much about her. I would recomend her books to anyone. Nineteen Minutes was probally the most intense book I have ever read. Ever since I read My Sister’s Keeper, I have been addicted to Jodi Picoult’s books.

Thanks for leaving yours. Erin - I'm sure this would be a hard one for people who have gone through a shooting. Tawnee - I read Change of Heart and just thought it was okay. My Sister's Keeper has been on my TBR forever. Danielle E. - I think she does do her research but there was one of her books that I read where she was way off based on one little fact. Minor though. Kelly - Jodi Picoult certainly writes about things that hit hard for some people. Alley - Thanks for all of your mini-reviews. Much appreciated! Louisa – I love comments! Thanks for leaving yours.

Erin – I’m sure this would be a hard one for people who have gone through a shooting.

She is my favorite author. So far I have read: The pact(I loved but the movie was horrible!) Nineteen minutes(awesome but it scared me) keeping faith( anyone one who can tackle religion without offending anyone and showing both sides is great) the tenth circle( not one of my favorite but I still love) Salem falls( I just finished this one. It was great! A modern version of the crucible) Vanishing acts(my least favorite. Nothing that great happened until the end. My sisters keeper (one word: magnificent) Plain truth( very interesting and different. It was okay, I guess only because I guessed right about the book and wanted something else to happen) change of heart( I loved it! It was heart warming. It was kind of a mix of my sisters keeper and keeping faith) I JUST LOVE JODI PICOULT! I absolutely love jodi picoult! She is my favorite author. So far I have read:

Probably because I just graduated from high school last May and I was bullied severely in elementary school and junior high. But I am also a fan of My Sister's Keeper, and Second Glance was my favorite, although I've read almost all of her books and have liked all of them (except Keeping Faith). As an aspiring author, I can only hope that someday I can write half as well as she does. Nineteen Minutes is probably the one of Picoult’s books that’s hit me the hardest.

So far I've only read My Sister's Keeper, The Tenth Circle, and Nineteen Minutes and I'm currently reading Songs of the Humpback Whale. I'd have to say I disagree with some in that she doesn't research enough for her books. For Nineteen Minutes the followup specifically states that she talked to several victims of various school shootings and investigators involved as well. Having just graduated high school last year, I think Nineteen Minutes has been my favorite so far because it's so relatable. However, I've enjoyed reading them all.

I read it a few months ago and it really made me realize how fragile people are and that the bullying can escalate. My Sister's Keeper was my first Jodi Picoult book but I can't pick a favorite. I've read several of her books. i suggest:: change of heart perfect match (which includes patrick ducharme from 19 minutes) Salem Falls you'll enjoy them :) Nineteen Minutes was an amazing read.

I couldn't put it down, Jodi is a wonderful writer. This book has got to be one of my favorites. The ending was something I would have never expected, and the plot as a whole was something I can only describe as terrifying. I can't imagine what I would do had I been involved in a school shooting. This was a fantastic book, and if you haven't read it, I strongly urge you to do so.
