Jodie Picoult books

ok,i know we already have a couple of threads for individual books by her, but i thought we could have a nice big thread for all her wonderful, wonderful books

today i went into town and bought.... 7 of her books i now have no money lol
and as i am slightly obsessed i thought we should have a thread on here about her books

so, what's your favourite one?
mine are nineteen minutes and the pact.

Nineteen Minutes [because I was bullied at school and can relate]
Keeping Faith [because it raises lots of interesting questions, particularly re mother-daughter relationship]

I cried at My Sister's Keeper :(
That was the first book of hers that I read and I loved it.
I've also read Salem Falls, The Pact, The Tenth Circle, Plain Truth, Keeping Faith, Second Glance, Vanishing Acts and I've recently started Change of Heart but I've not got very far with it yet.
I really enjoyed Plain Truth. That's probably one of my favourites.
I found The Tenth Circle a bit strange at first with the comic book art through it but I did like the story so in the end I did end up enjoying it.

I haven't read all of her books, but I simply ADORE Jodi Picoult!

I've read (in order):
Second Glance
My Sister's Keeper
The Tenth Circle
Mercy.

My Sister's Keeper followed closely by Second Glance are my favourites but I loved how she included a hidden message to find out within the comic strips within The Tenth Circle! I really need to buy some more of her books... she's such an amazing writer!

i read change of heart last night, until 2am, which wasn't exactly a great thing for me to do on a school night... lol

but being tired all day was definately worth it!!! it is really really brilliant, and has some really interesting topics in, like the death penalty and the gnostic gospels... or maybe it's just geeky old me who finds it interesting!!

I've only read My Sister's Keeper but it was so absolutely amazing!!! I do not cry easily when reading books but this one really made me cry(even though I sneaked a peak of the end to see what happened) but it wasn't what happened that made me cry cause I suspected it anyways, it's how it happened. It was very good and I'd like to read more of her books.



I find some of what you teach suspect

I've read My sisters Keeper, Ninteen minutes, The tenth circle, The pact, Salem Falls and half of Plain truth. Nineteen minutes was my favouirite. I couldn't get into Plain truth but i saw the film AGES ago and i think because i know what is going to happen i just can't be bothered with it.
