    Any Jodi picoult fans here? I absolutly love her! Nineteen minutes is my favourite although i thought My Sisters keeper was good but over-rated. There all pretty much the same based on moral dilemas and a courtroom trial but i still have yet to find one i havnt enjoyed!

    Definitely not a fan.

    Personally I found My Sister's Keeper to be a painful read. The ending was a complete cop out.

    I don't like her writing style at all. She's popular among the library users though.

    At the insistance (and pecking:rolleyes:) of my mother, I read nineteen minutes.

    And, actually thought that it was good.

    The only way I could be more surprised is if I read Cecilia Ahearn's books and enjoyed them.

    Absolutely love her books! love the way they are all moral delimmas or controversial issues, better than the usual 'does he love me or not' chick lit books! Only book of hers that i didn't like was Vanishing Acts which she must have written on a really bad set of days!! pure dire!! It wont affect be being a fan tho! Just read Humpback Whale and its another really good one!

    I am sorry and I totally respect those of you who are fans of her but I am really struggling through "mercy" and I just find it seems to go on and on and round and round. there is nothing happening. Even though my daughter is a fan I dont think I will be reading any more of her books. let me have Dean Koontz, Jeffery Archer or Harlan Coben any day of the week!!
