I loved the way the book ended. ... Dewey, but I saw the author speak today. She is a really good speaker and made me want to read the book.
I am reading Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult and Phony: How I Faked My Way Through Life by Andrea Stanfield. Great review of Handle with Care. I may skip that one. Perhaps she is starting to write too fast. It seems like Change of Heart just came out and all of a sudden there is a new book. Also, I know she has assistants who do a lot of her research now, so maybe she is more removed from the ... No, I haven't read it yet. I still have Change of Heart, Harvesting the Heart, Mercy, and Salem Falls in my tbr pile, so I couldn't justify getting a hardcover of Handle with Care.

#13 - bookaholicgirl - I felt the same way about Change of Heart - a good book but predictable. 29. Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult - good but definitely not my favorite of hers. While I found it entertaining and enjoyable, there really weren't any surprises in it and I could see everything coming from pretty much the first page. Still, if you are a Picoult fan I think you will like ... I just finished Change of Heart, the new Jodi Picoult, last night.

I finished change of heart a few weeks ago. I thought was pretty good. Definitely not one of her best but I still enjoyed it. I found the premise interesting and religious aspect got me thinking.

Also, it kept ... ... think the only ones I haven't read are plain truth, salem falls and songs of the humpback whale.
