Kathleen (catnhat722) | 1 comments Hello all Jodi Picoult fans!!! I was very excited to find this group on goodreads! I've read 6 of her books so far.

My absolute favorite was My Sister's Keeper. This book was incredible. The characters felt so real. My heart went out to the entire family in this book. The ending was completely stunning and unpredictable which is refreshing in a book!

Picoult has this style of writing that just captures you from the very first page to the last one. She makes you think about how things she depicts in her books can and do happen in real life.

I look forward to many more books by her and many discussions with the group!

Kat:)

Welcome Kathleen! Were all big Picoult fans here so you'll see that your in good company. My first Picoult book was actually My Sisters Keeper and i agree with you. I loved the story and i felt my heart break for the two sisters everytime. The ending threw me for a loop, because i wasn't expecting that at all. I would love to see the movie, it just stinks knowing that they(hollywood) changed the ending.

I am about halfway through and have a feeling the end is going to shock me!?! I can't wait to finish it and start reading a new book by her! I am so happy I discovered her books! :)

I will definitely let you know what I think of the book once I am finished. I hope to finish this weekend! Sounds so good....

Looking forward to reading more of her books. My friend gave me Nineteen Minutes for my birthday so I have that on my to-read list as well.

Ramona (roy99) | 1 comments Just found this group on Good Reads & thought I'd come by & say hello. Nineteen Minutes was my first Jodi Picoult book & I have been a fan ever since. I've been reading her new books as they come out & picking up the previous ones to read. Planning on reading My Sister's Keeper before the movie comes out this coming month.

Maria (tess_untitled) | 20 comments About Salem Falls...

Jack St. Bride was once a beloved teacher and soccer coach at a girls' private school - until a student's crush sparked a powder keg of accusation and robbed him of his career and reputation. Now, after a devastatingly public ordeal that left him with an eight-month jail sentence and no job, Jack resolves to pick up the pieces of his life.

He takes a job washing dishes at Addie Peabody's diner and slowly starts to form a relationship with her in the quiet New England village of Salem Falls. But just when Jack thinks he has outrun his past, a quartet of teenage girls with a secret turn his world upside down once again, triggering a modern-day witch hunt in a town haunted by its own history…

I don't think you will be disappointed no matter which book you pick up. I still have several of hers to read.
