I just finished this and cried my way through the last few pages. My supervisor has told me to get a few others by her.

Same here, i thought it was very hard hitting. A lot of her stuff is though. I found my sister's keeper brilliant and then the movie just ruined it :/

Pretty good so far. It keeps up a decent pace and keeps you wanting more. Or, at least that is how I feel about it.

Jodi Picoult is a pretty decent writer. One thing I can say is her books keep you wanting more and more. I have read most of her books in a day or two.

Perfect Match was great
My Sister's keeper was excellent (I liked the movie the ending did disappoint but I guess the director thought movie goers would want a happy and expected ending)
Handle with Care was pretty good. It was simliar to my sisters keeper but different. The ending, well you had to think about it.
Vanishing act-Excellent.
Nineteen minutes-OMG so good
Change of Heart- I liked it. It was a little weird and parts of it were predictable but the ending made up for that completely. The ending was cool.

I am a fan. I will, one day, read all of her books. I could have a Jodi Picoult fest and read all the books I have yet to read in the next couple of weeks but I have found that every author needs to be read in increments or you grow used to their style and bored. I am waiting for House rules to come in at the library. In the meantime I am going to read some other books and I might pick up one or two of her other books.

Sorry for going on a tangent about her but I really do like the way she makes you think. Some of her endings are weird or annoying but in the end they make me think and that is what I love.

Loved the movie with Angelina Jolie and Denzel Washinton. Saw it when I was a kid and fell in love.

Found out it was based off of a book and decided to read it. Only on chapter 2 but this author has a way of keeping you attention.

The Summer Psychic, by Jessica Adams.

Re: What I'm reading now.

Existentialism and Human Emotions by Sartre...

I agree with a lot of it, but some is just rambling BS...Not horrible though.
