I didn't understand the part about the picture of Father Michael. It seemed Shay had the picture before he even met Father Michael, even before the trial. Can someone explain this to me? Jo I listened to the book on audio so I know I may have missed a few details. I didn’t understand the part about the picture of Father Michael.

I think I still will. Since I get most of my books from the library, I won't be out of any money. So far I’ve only read Sister’s Keeper I did want to check out more of her work. I think I still will.

I do believe in miracles, and hope to meet someone who shares this belief and who might actually hold the power to bring them forth.

But obviously, she's found a formula that works in her favor. Her books do raise interesting questions to our life problems and does give one much to think about. But what I don't appreciate is the name calling. Completely uncalled for. It would be appreciative if you could choose your words more carefully when writing a criticism. Criticism I don't mind, but your lack of being able to express yourself without being able to find more adequate language I do mind.

She is in no way formulaic, that's just the way ignorant people think. She writes about issues that are serious and relevant to today's world. Her books are not just "page turners", like they are sterotyped to be. Picoult has the answers to life's problems and the world could be a better place if you dumb bitches listened to her and actually understood what you were reading. Jodi Picoult is an amazing author.

I suppose if I try something else by her I may be disappointed by the formula. She had some interesting thoughts about religion, but ultimately her philosophy didn't really interest me so I would read through that quickly to return to the plot.

It seems this is a hit and miss author. Joan - The story was fine although very weird. I think I wasn't impressed with her formulaic writing. It all seemed so stiff and contrived. Kathleen - Nineteen Minutes I liked. It was also my first Picoult book. I'm still willing to try a few of her others just to see if this one was a fluke.

I'll probably stick with that and skip the others after reading your reviews... it looks like everyone else who has read these books is in agreement with you.
