Books - Jodi Picoult

Dawnie_AngelUK · 05-29-2006, 02:09 AM

Is anybody a fan of Jodi Picoults books? I really enjoy her writing style and I'm currently trying to work my way threw them all as fast as I can lay my hands on them! It usually takes me a couple of days to finish the book once I get it, but waiting for them to be free at the library is a pain! If only I could afford to just by them all! lol

I've read The Pact, Keeping Faith, Plain Truth, Salem Falls, My Sisters Keeper, and Vanishing acts (not in that order) And I have to say that Salem Falls was my favourite!

ETA: It was asked that I add a link to a list of all Jodi Picoult's books to this first post - so where it is! Jodi Picoult Books

Im a HUGE fan of hers, although I havent been able to read that many. I read My sisters keeper and The Pact at the beginning of the year and I found that I couldnt put them down. But then Uni work took over and Im waiting for holidays before I start up again. Ive got the Tenth circle waiting and Im going to get Salem Falls and Keeping Faith as those are the ones Ive been most interested in.

Im also wanting to read my way through all her books, her writing style is amazing and I bacsically fell in love the moment I started My Sisters Keeper!

I love J.P. as well! I've only read Keeping Faith & Sister's Keeper, but loved both of them. I'm starting Tenth Circle tonight! Can't wait

I'm requesting her other books from the library as well!

I really like Jodi Picoult..I had to read My Sister's Keeper for summer reading and could not put it down. It was amazing and I was crying at the end.

I was going to read The Pact, but I never got around to getting the book because of school and stuff.

I'm hoping to read a bunch of her books this summer though.

My Sister Keeper is the only book that had me crying. I guess it's because I have two sisters, and couldn't handle it if they died

This one had me, I was in tears for half the book. I think she manages to hit close to home with each story she writes. Most people would be able to relate to atleast one of the books, and thats probably what makes her such a great author.

My Sister's Keeper was her best book yet! I loved it so much and I cried so hard. I read it all in just a few hours because I couldn't put it down.

Just went back and got a few of her other books and I just finished Harvesting the Heart, which I've been trying to read since spring break. I loved it.

I've only read My Sister's Keeper. I've looked at her other ones at the store but haven't purchased one. What others are good?

furry_logic · 06-05-2006, 10:22 PM

Ive only read The Pact aside from My Sisters Keeper but I loved it. Im reading The Tenth Circle and I got Keeping Faith today.

I really want to read The Tenth Circle but I've yet to get my hands on it - Are you enjoying it?

Although I did like it I was a bit disapointing with Vanishing Acts. I didn't seem to enjoy it as much as her other books. I didn't find myself sucked into the characters in the same way.

Yea its good, Ive only just started and havent had much time for reading. But now Im on holidays so Ive got plenty of time for reading plus I got Keeping Faith the other day to so yay!

I really enjoyed Keeping Faith - found that even after i'd finished reading it I had so many questions. Always a sign of a good book I think!

I love her books! I read Vanishing Acts and now I'm almost done with My Sister's Keeper. I can't put it down! I plan to move on to The Pact next.

I'm in the middle of My Sister's Keeper right now, I was hooked instantly!

Oh finally a Jodi picoult thread!

She is my abcolute favourite author!
I have read all her books and am already waiting for her next novel (which you can read the first chapter of on her website: Jodi Picoult )

My favourite books are: The Pact, Keeping Faith and My Sisters Keeper.
Perhaps a bit

The ending to My Sisters Keeper devastated me though! I cried whilst reading it on the bus!

I didn't really enjoy her new novel the Tenth Circle though. Has anyone read it?
