This is one that was dark and uncomfortable and I did appreciate the story and was wrapped up in it. The one book that I really enjoyed from Picoult, though, was Keeping Faith. If you haven't read that one, I highly recommend that. I think even non-Picoult fans would enjoy that selection.Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-55622600792790831112011-11-29T08:01:53.680-08:002011-11-29T08:01:53.680-08:00I am not a big Picoult fan, but I know that she ha...I am not a big Picoult fan, but I know that she has a huge following.

I agree wit...I'm a big fan of Jodi Picoult too! I agree with you. All of her books that I have read so far are not easy reading. They're all thought-provoking, gnawing at your most uncomfortable and private ideas/thoughts/moral issues. She doesn't hesitate to attack those issues. A very courageous author. I have wept, I have gotten angry, upset, and moved by her books. I think the last book that I read was the one that they recently made a movie of, the story of two sisters, one very sick and the other was conceived for the main purpose of using her body to help the older sister. The book was so much better than the movie (as always). This is a nice review. I think I may go find this one when I get a chance. Thanks for sharing this. Oh, the joy of reading. Reading good books too. It's hard to find good books. Books that can provoke me, I mean. So I appreciate it every time I come across one.Olive Treehttp://peaceroad.wordpress.com/2011/11/28/the-forgotten-series-2/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-65181788252555759382011-11-28T23:12:20.209-08:002011-11-28T23:12:20.209-08:00Nice review.

It is one I will have to pass by. I've only read one or two books by Jodi, and if memory serves me right I think I enjoyed them. It was a few years ago, so can't even remember the titles of the books.
