I have always loved Jodi Picoult's writing, and it's a pity I have read everything she has written to date! Some favourites included Nineteen Minutes, The Pact and Salem Falls was pretty fun too. I love the intensity of her novels; the careful blend of intellect and emotion, and a plot and characters like you wouldn't believe. She has definitely inspired me to write better!

So...who else likes Picoult? Why? Favourite books?

Aww - come on guys, you know you love her!

And I'll bet you're just dying to comment on her breathtaking ability to transport you to a place that is so amazingly similar to your own, but so wildly different, with such a careful blend of heart and mind, and a stunning storyline, every time...

Who liked 'My Sister's Keeper' - the film based on her book?

I love Jodi Picoult books as well! ^_^ I've read The Pact, Nineteen Minutes, and My Sister's Keeper, and I think my favorite was The Pact. The only problem I find is that you know there's going to be a twist, so it loses the element of surprise because I've come to expect whatever's most unexpected. And she likes to end every paragraph with a profound statement.

But she is a marvelous writer, and character-weaver.
"Let's eat, Grandma!" as opposed to "Let's eat Grandma!": punctuation saves lives.

Almost the same as my favourites! Yeah, I loved The Pact, too - it was GOOD. I actually like knowing there'll be a twist, but not knowing what it is - but I see what you mean. And I think her beginnings AND endings are superbly crafted.

Somehow, the plot doesn't matter to me as much as the characters - but obviously, both are brilliant for the story to work :D.

All I know is that I know her. I sometimes ignore her books when I visit our local bookstore but I'll try reading some of her books. XD
