I'm usually a fan of Jodi Picoult - but a friend of mine read this and said that the take on OI is really fictitious. I take care of a LOT of OI kids, and for that reason, will most likely NOT read it - I don't want to read a book while thinking the whole time, "Duh, this would NOT happen."

i've read and about half of all her books! i'm a really big fan and got to go to a book signing. i have all of her books and will keep buying. she has 15 books out now. i really liked handle with care. i have to say my two favorites so far are plain truth and change of heart.

I read it and was extremely disappointed...the ending was stupid...I loved the rest of the book but the ending ruined it for me

Huge fan of Jodi Picoult...right now i'm reading Keeping Faith. Really good so far.

I've read essentially all of her books but I didn't like this one nearly as much as the rest of hers.

It seemed kind of pressured, and I figured out the ending really early on, and it just made me annoyed.

My favorites were 'The Song of The Humpback Whale,' and 'Plain Truth' I think...

I just read this! Ugh I was so disappointed at the end of the book! But if you like her writings there is another author out there now w/ some books that are being compared to Jodi's writings! Her name is Kristen Hannah I have one of her books called True Colors REALLY good. Oh and another author is Heather Gudenkauf her book is The Weight of Silence SOOOOOO good! ok I totally changed the subject here but I LOVEEEE reading it's my guilty pleasure!
