What I find so refreshing about Picoult is her ability to look at all of the different sides of the story (I've only read this, The Pact, and 19 Minutes), but each was gripping in its own way.<BR/><BR/>My sister had kidney failure abot 5 years ago, so I really related with the little sister (although I am older and wasn't born for "parts"). Picoult sure knows how to ask the tough questions, huh? I'm going to try and squeeze in "The Tenth Circle" at the end of this month.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177164395801411936.post-79947864088126320732007-06-11T12:16:00.000-04:002007-06-11T12:16:00.000-04:00This book just keeps getting great reviews everywh...This book just keeps getting great reviews everywhere.

It's the one about the school shooting. She shows ever side of it...and it's a hard read. But well worth it!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you liked this one !Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055676171075203563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177164395801411936.post-51086756662667815262007-06-05T18:14:00.000-04:002007-06-05T18:14:00.000-04:00It was my first Picoult novel, too, and it made me...It was my first Picoult novel, too, and it made me want to read more!Deweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00395712971920800717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177164395801411936.post-66344791503177703552007-06-05T12:47:00.000-04:002007-06-05T12:47:00.000-04:00My Sister's Keeper was the first Picoult book I re...My Sister's Keeper was the first Picoult book I read as well.

I think it was too depressing for me and I just wasn't in the mood for depressing. I'll have to pick it up and finish it sometime. The Pact is the only other one I've read and I enjoyed it okay. Her subjects are a little disturbing, aren't they.Sueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926501219758538615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177164395801411936.post-89957071811403664872007-06-03T17:37:00.000-04:002007-06-03T17:37:00.000-04:00This is one of my favorite authors - I loved this ...This is one of my favorite authors - I loved this one but I did also like The Pact.

It challenges you to look at a tough subject from more than one point of view. I'd like to read more of her stuff, too.kookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994570192941993135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177164395801411936.post-35050435125235243912007-06-02T16:34:00.000-04:002007-06-02T16:34:00.000-04:00I just read and reviewed Keeping Faith on my blog ...I just read and reviewed Keeping Faith on my blog - I really liked it (gave it a 4.5).

The other Picoult book I read is The Pact. The subject matter was so disturbing to me in The Pact that I said I'd never read another Picoult book. Then a friend insisted that I try My Sister's Keeper. I'm glad I did.Sarah at SmallWorldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15306137253094526922noreply@blogger.com
