Jodi Picoult
Any Picoult fans here? She writes for young adults, but I absolutely LOVE her books. Nineteen Minutes came out this summer and was great. The first three or four paragraphs are probably the most memorable paragraphs I've read. It's about a high school shooting, but all of her books have HUGE twists in the end. I read My Sister's Keeper this summer as well and I yelled out loud near the end. In over 40 years of being a read-a-holic, I have never called out loud before. My husband and son couldn't believe it when it happened. In fact, My Sister's Keeper is going to be made into a movie. The reason for this post, is because I recommended Plain Truth on the post about The Shunning and I thought, "Oops! I need to let everyone else know about this author!" Don't get me wrong, she'll probably not go down in history as a literary great, but I really enjoy her!

I've read a couple.....she's okay. I found her stuff to be a little formuliac.

I like her - she deals with current topics well.Jenna

I'm listening to my first Jodi Picoult book - The Tenth Circle. So far I like it mostly although it does seems to be dragging a bit.

I read Nineteen Minutes for young adult lit. Can't wait to read more, but now I'm in children's lit so I have no time to read other things!

Re: Jodi Picoult
I'm just getting into her books. I have Nineteen Minutes and Vanishing Acts on my night stand right now. I just finished The Pact. I'm loving her stuff. She doesn't tie up her endings in a nice little bow and leave you all satisfied.
Re: Jodi Picoult
I just finished Nineteen Minutes and I just have to say Wow. When I was checking it out the librarian informed me that it was on the banned books list and that this was banned books week, but I'm not sure I know what that means considering I was able to check it out. I guess banned somewhere else? Anyway, it was an excellent, if disturbing, book, and I was floored at the end. I'm definitely interested in reading more of her work.

Re: Jodi Picoult
I am a HUGE Picoult fan!
I have read almost all of her books... reading the last one on my list now. Just waiting for her to come out with more!!!
I fly through them... we went on a cruise in June... and in 7 days I read 5 1/2 of her books!
I hate when I finish all the books by an author I love...
anyone know of a similar type author?!
I've read all of her books, all of Alice Hoffman's, Anita Shreves, hmm... trying to think...
I need some new recommendations!

Re: Jodi Picoult
Don't know any other author like her, but I hope there is or else she continues to write forever! I'm reading Close to the Heart now and really liking it.

Re: Jodi Picoult
I've read several of her books and keep telling myself that Im going to make a book list of just her books and work my way through all of them. I really loved Mercy and My Sister's Keeper.
