Any Jodi Picoult Fans out there?

rubyred · 03-23-2009, 03:29 AM

hi, i am!!! My sisters keeper is my favourite, possibly because it was the first I ever read. What a good idea it is to be able to discuss books, after all, I may have a drink problem but I can still read lol!!

notsleepingwell · 03-23-2009, 04:32 AM

Me, me, me!!!! I love Jodi Picoult...got hooked on her Vanishing Acts, and had to run to Costco and get every book she'd written. And certainly haven't been disappointed in the least. Love her, love her!

Another addicting author I've just discovered is Lee Child...love his Jack Reacher novels....have also read every one of those I've been able to get my hands on.

This was the first book of hers I read, I can't wait to see it! I hope it is as good as the book!

It's the one that got me hooked on her!

Loved Vanishing Acts, I love how she puts twists in them, the whole time you are thinking one thing and as soon as you do she gets you with Bam, OHhh that's why!!

I've read almost all of hers also, except that Wonder Woman one.

I'm reading Handle With Care right now..

jerect · 03-23-2009, 08:22 PM

I love Jodi Picoult and her latest book Handle With Care was a page turner... though I didn't like the ending at all..

My favorite book by JP is Salem Falls..

**Done_With_It** · 03-23-2009, 10:19 PM

I'm still reading Handle With Care, I'll let ya know what I think.
I was surprised not to see the friendly ol Lawyer we all know and
love though, lol

rubyred · 03-24-2009, 04:10 AM

Have just been to the library to order handle with care!

bouchard01 · 03-24-2009, 09:49 AM

I for sure am a fan ... started with My Sister's Keeper, Keeping Faith and I'm now reading Perfect Match. Will for sure keep reading her books.

Another reason why I love her so much! I love that book also, I usually don't read books twice, but I may try and read that one again.

***51anna*** · 03-26-2009, 11:08 AM

I'm reading Handle with Care, about half way through, and really enjoying it.

There are few authors that can present all sides of an argument the way she can, in such a sensitive way.

Mariposa18 · 03-26-2009, 11:10 AM

I have My Sister's Keeper but have yet to read it. After reading such wonderful things about it here I think I'll make it my next book!

I'll let you guys know what I think of it when I start =)

**Rowan** · 03-29-2009, 09:23 AM

After reading this thread, I decided to give the author a try. I bought Faith last night by JP and it's very good so far. I've had readers-block for some time now, and this seems to have unlocked it! YAY

SaraLynn · 03-29-2009, 03:17 PM

I'm Jodi Fan
I have not read one of hers I didn't like.
SPOILER ALERT

My sister's keeper was Heart Breaking. I can't read it again, it was just too sad.

There were two things that I was pretty sure she was going to
do, esp. when I saw that you said you didn't like the ending.

She did one of the ones I was pretty sure she was going to do, but
not the other.

I didn't think in that way, but figured she'd do that.

I thought it was a great book, she always gets you to think,
that's what I love about her, she gets you to go places where
you wouldn't normally go and ask yourself questions that you
don't like to ask yourself or think about really.

I have to say that is one crazy (disease)? to have.
I think that would be one of the worst kind to have.

KindBird · 04-16-2009, 11:13 AM

Oh I am so excited to read her - have books coming in from the library today - thanks for this thread!!

I love Change of Heart.

I liked Handle with Care a lot too.
It was a little slow in the beginning, or
it was just that I had a lot going on, lol,
I'm not sure, but I like it a lot.

Charmie · 04-16-2009, 05:05 PM

im reading james frey at the moment,i found a million little peices in the book shop by accident whe i was trying to get sober few yrs ago,,i dont care about all the whoo ha that surrounded that book,,it was brilliant! also my friend leonard is a fantastic read aswell,,im half way through bright shiny morning and it is also good,,im just waiting for sad bits to happen though!!!! his last two books made me cry and im sure this one will be no different!!!!

***51anna*** · 06-02-2009, 12:23 PM

Wow! Miss Done, it looks incredible!

I can't wait to see it.

PacNorwesterner · 06-29-2009, 07:36 AM

I have become "addicted" to her books. I haven't read an author that I have loved so much, in years.

I'm a great one for forgetting that I have read a book, and buy the same book again. I'm not taking any chances with Jodi. I carry a list of her titles in my wallet and cross them off when I buy it.

Just finished Salem Falls. OMG! Did any of you see the ending coming? I had a faint thought about it, but dismissed the thought. I was really shocked.

**Done_With_It** · 06-29-2009, 09:31 PM

lol, so what other ones have you read?
I've read them all. Did you the one.....well to many to name,
I love her!
Salem Falls was great!
