I've just finished reading Jodi Picoult's new (well, newest) book and as always, it was awesome. I love her. I am not a big reader but she writes so well that I find it hard not to love it. This was about a death penalty case and it was kind of depressing but I like that (weird, I know.) It really made me think a lot about the death penalty and it may have even changed my mind about it. I used to support capital punishment, well, in theory anyway since NZ doesn't actually have the death penalty and I will never be put on a jury that has to decide whether someone should live or die.
Obviously I know that this is just a book, it's not real and that it's not always like that but it just proves that there are similar cases out there that are not black and white and that even a case that seems so clear cut, like the one in the book may very well not be.
So that's really all I have time to blog about. If you're looking for something to read then I recommend one of her books and in order of my fav here are the ones I've read
- My Sister's Keeper (of course)
- Nineteen Minutes
- Change of Heart
In no particular order because I liked them all evenly (and it's kind of hard to remember...)
- Perfect Match
- The Pact
- Picture Perfect
- Vanishing Acts
- Salem Falls
- Keeping Faith
I didn't really like the Tenth Circle but I guess 9/10 isn't bad ;)

I have recently discovered Jodi Picoult and can't get enough! I started out with My Sister's Keeper and so far that is still my favorite. Next I read Nineteen Minutes which I really liked too. Then I read The Tenth Circle and like you, I didn't like it. I was so disappointed! Then I kept on reading and like all the other books, but My Sister's Keeper is still my favorite. I should have started with a different book so I didn't have such high expectations for the rest! I have just bought Salem Falls and will read that soon, but am in the middle of Keeping Faith right now. I REALLY want to read Change of Heart and I'm on the hold list at the library for it. Anyway, I didn't mean to ramble, it's just nice to see other fans too. I know Tash likes her as well. Have you read Mercy? That one is pretty good too. My goal is read them all :)
Aww, I love Jodi Picoult! I had started with My Sister's Keeper (someone had given it to me) and then I just couldn't get enough! I've read all the same one's as you except for Salem Falls (I can never find it!). I wasn't a big fan of The Tenth Circle at all. I loved Change of Heart though, I just finished it last week! I really want to read Plain Truth as well! Anyways, I <3 her books too :) Have you read the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyers?
