whispering_pines Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) I have just started on Jodi Picoult's book Keeping Faith. I havent read any of her books till now and I think this one will be good. I would like to read My sister's Keeper. How is it? and what about this book?Can anyone tell me more about Jodi Picoult's books? Edited July 14, 2008 by Michelle added to previous thread - please search first :) Quote
kelly2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I have read vanishing acts and plain truth, both of which I loved Quote
madcow Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I've enjoyed most of her books, some more than others MSK, Vanishing Acts and Plain Truth spring to mind. Quote
SusieQ Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I'm reading Change of Heart and I'm quite disappointed because I liked My Sister's Keeper. Quote
Nollaig Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Just started The Tenth Circle, despite the fact that it's not getting the best reviews by FAR (in fact, the almost exclusive consensus seems to be that while it's a good read, it's just not up to par with her other work) I'm actually loving it. It's the first book I've read by her, and I really, really like it. Maybe my partiality towards comics and Dante help that, though. My Sister's Keeper seems to get the best reviews, I might try and read that one next. Quote
Ceinwenn Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Do you have My Sister's Keeper, Roxi? If not, let me know & I'll send you mine to read. Quote
Nollaig Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Awwhh thanks Ceinwenn. I can't afford postage back right now, but when I can I might do that. Or I might just buy a copy when I get some cash, I LOVE The Tenth Circle (only 66 pages to go!) and everybody reckons My Sister's Keeper is better - I've bought books with less reason than that! Quote
Ceinwenn Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Roxi, I didn't ask for you to send it back, did I? Quote
Nollaig Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Ceinwenn you caaaaaan't do that, you already gave me Tenth Circle! You'll have no books left if you keep giving them to me! Quote
Inver Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) And I am recommending Salem Falls. I am getting near to the end of that too. 14/6/09 ~ Just finished Salem Falls this morning.....very good. Thoroughly recommend it. Edited June 14, 2009 by Inver Quote
bethany725 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Roxi, if you already have an interest in comics and Dante, I bet it's helping a lot! I didn't have any interest in either of them, and from many of the reviews I've read, that seems to be what gets most readers, so you were in luck. I'm so glad to hear you're liking 'The Tenth Circle.' It's Picoult's favorite that she's written, apparently.. Not a bad one to like then! I just finished 'Change of Heart' today -- really liked this one, actually. I can't wait to get my hands on 'Handle with Care' now. Quote
Nollaig Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Oh yeah, I definately just got lucky with it, Beth. I adored the comics, I'd love to see them done out properly in a comic book. I saw Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult in a shop today, can anyone tell me whether I should pick it up? It was €4 second hand. There's about 7 books in town I want to buy Quote
Lucybird Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I liked Salem Falls, Roxie, not my favourite but still good. Speaking of buying Jodi Picoult books I'm happy to lend any of my paperbacks if people are unsure (postage on hardbacks is a bit much, but I will lend those too if people are willing to pay postage). And I have a bookring for Second Glance around somewhere Quote
bethany725 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Im with Lucy... Good, but not one of my favorites. Quote
aquabreeze Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Are there any fans of Jodi Picoult books here? There are no books of this author here in my islands - I get the chance to read them when someone buys it from overseas. Anyone interested in exchanging Jodi Picoult's books for souvenir or postcards of the Seychelles? Quote
Lucybird Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Heya aquabreeze, I don't know if we have any other members from where you are but how about trying Bookmooch it's a book swapping site, just put up books you don't want and people can ask you to send them, and you can use the points you get from registering and sending books to ask for books from others.

funrun Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Read 19 minutes sad book I found but liked it Quote
BookWorm1976 Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Just finished My Sister's Keeper today, thought the ending was good, but I did find it a bit of a slog to read:blush: I don't know if I would bother reading any more of her books:lurker: Quote
Perky Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Just finished My Sister's Keeper today, thought the ending was good, but I did find it a bit of a slog to read:blush: I don't know if I would bother reading any more of her books:lurker: I felt exactly the same about 'Songs of the Humpback Whale'.

welshchick30 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Just finished My Sister's Keeper today, thought the ending was good, but I did find it a bit of a slog to read:blush: I don't know if I would bother reading any more of her books:lurker: I have read this book and was very surprised at the ending. I was completely disappointed with the film and wont be watching that again. I am currently reading Salem Falls. Have you read it? Im finding it hard to stick with it at the moment. Quote
MountainGirl Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I've read The Pact, My Sisters Keeper, and I just finished House Rules. I loved all three, the Pact and My Sisters Keeper both made me cry House Rules made me laugh, very well written, it makes you struggle right along with the characters. My Sisters Keeper in the movie world, was very disappointing.. I've tried to get into Second Glance, but after the first viewpoint change, I couldnt get into it anymore and put it down half way threw. I was sad because from the first characters viewpoint, I was so into it, but once she switched, I just lost interest. -- Has anyone finished this book? What are your thoughts? I have a bunch of her books that I asked for for birthdays and such, but I seem to just leave them in my TBR pile for longer and longer... Quote
Ruth Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I've read three of her books - My Sister's Keeper, Vanishing Acts and Nineteen Minutes. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them (probably Nineteen Minutes the most). There's a number of her other books on my tbr shelves, and I must get around to them! I have heard very mixed reviews of her new book though. It's called House Rules I think, and a few Picoult fans I know have expressed disappointment with it. Quote
acliffe85 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I love the Pact and have read this book twice have seen the film is very good too recommended Quote
chesilbeach Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I guess I must be in the minority, as I've read two Picoult books, The Pact and Vanishing Acts and I found them average at best, and didn't like the move to the courtroom at the end of the story in either book. I read these for my book group, and I suspect we'll get another one at some stage as most people seemed to enjoy her books, and while I'll approach it as I always try to, with an open mind, I admit that I'm not particularly looking forward to it.
