It's a great book, I mean really it is. But DON"T read it! It'll throw you for a loop. It upset me so.

by Jodi Picoult? I read Nineteen Minutes a few years ago. That book itself was good but gave me chills.
What about this book did you like? I never read it.

Don't read House Rules, either. Or Handle With Care. Or-- I forget what it's called-- the one about the genetic counselor and the New England eugenics movement. That one still makes me absolutely furious. Or Keeping Faith. Keeping Faith was probably the worst.

Plain Truth was kind of all right.

Generally legal thrillers put me to sleep. Jodi Picoult is really good at people, and bitter enough to completely succeed at suspending my disbelief. I really have to try to stay away from her stuff. It keeps me up crying.

I read House Rules and liked it, but I didn't like My Sister's Keeper.
