Really liked it... Read it in a couple of hours. Killed time on a car journey.

Its quite typical jodi picoult style. But yeah i enjoyed it.

Did anyone think the prison side of it resembled 'The green mile' .. like the way shay is and the things he does? ..

The following content has been hidden - Reason : SPOILER!
Like when he brings the bird back to life.. the guy in green mile did it with a mouse. even the whole case. Double murder - misunderstood... Just kinda reminded me of it a bit.



So do whatever it takes

Ohhh my gosh I loved change of heart. It was super good, I'd recommend reading keeping faith first. Both books have a little bit of religon in them, which i usually hate but she writes from such a secular point of view that it really doesn't matter. It's actually quite fascenating. But in change of heart theres some characters from keeping faith, not that it makes a differnce, i read change of heart before keeping faith and it was fine. but it certinly helps!

BUY IT! haha

Yeah it reminded me of the green mile too.

But I love Jodi Picoult.
