My Sister's Keeper is definitely my favorite. So yes--I definitely know what you mean about if you hadn't read anything by Picoult you would have enjoyed it more.

I've seen several Jodi Picoult books when looking through bookstores and I've been intrigued. My husband says no more books right now :( It's only library for me My Sister’s Keeper is glaring at me from my bookshelf too. It seems to keep getting shoved further back.

Krishna - You're welcome! Kim - I've had My Sister's Keeper on my shelf for about six months. One of these days I'm just going to sit down and read it. Maybe before she comes to SLC for her signing. S. Krishna – You’re welcome!

I do know that they are pretty formulaic and always concern controversial subjects. I will be interested to hear what you think about My Sister's Keeper.

I've yet to read one that doesn't. But hey, if it works why change it?! Ramya - I haven't read Second Glance. I'm sure you'll like this one. Sandy - I haven't read The Pact and passed up a copy at my book club for it. I need to read My Sister's Keeper first before I acquire any more! Alyce - LOL Tricia - Haven't read Vanishing Acts although I do own it. Tina - I think they are all gut wrenching. She takes a lot of popular topics and really makes you think about them. Janet - I had heard My Sister's Keeper was being made into a movie. With Dakota Fanning? Must read before it comes out. alisonwonderland - Are you going to go to her book signing when she comes to SLC? If you do, I'd love to meet up with you there. Diane - Mercy. I don't think I own that one. Laura H. - It's worth a try. Tricia - Well, like I said in my review. I do think they are formulaic. Ladytink_534 - I do admit that once I start her books, I do have to finish it. I can't pick up anything else until it's done. Staci - Tenth Circle was my least favorite as well. Nicole - It seems like we all have My Sister's Keeper in our piles. Amy - You're welcome. I can't wait to read your interview. Kirby really is the best! Kim L - If my book club hadn't read this, I probably wouldn't have read it. I didn't mind that I did though. Karina - I really do want to see the movie for this one. I wonder if I could find it on DVD anywhere. Darlene - Glad you liked the movie. I'm going to have to track a copy down. Kathy – My book group said that they all don’t follow that formula.

It was pretty good. I didn't realize it was a Picoult novel when I watched it. (The Tenth Circle was also a TV movie, starring Kelly Preston.)

I think that she is an excellent writer, but it does seem like the plots contain similar elements. I still liked this book, and I still liked My Sister's Keeper, but I wasn't motivated to pick up more of her books. I have read this one and My Sister’s Keeper, and I hear you on the formula thing.

I think it's the only Picoult novel I've read. Anyway, I found it pretty nerve-wracking, too, and I'm not sure I'm up for that in a novel. I wanted to say thanks for commenting on my Hattie Big Sky post. I found your interview helpful. Thanks for linking it! I read this one in my pre-blogging days.
