I can pretty much predict the course any one of her books is going to take now.

I guess I just thought that since Jacob was a male, then that was the reason for using the "he" pronoun instead of "she". Does she do that a lot in her other books? I've only read a couple of them. <br /><br />I really loved this book and have a bunch of her others on my TBR shelf that I can't wait to read!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04597978238568536765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237074318510841576.post-90878298557489095272010-03-22T17:14:51.442+01:002010-03-22T17:14:51.442+01:00I really like Jodi Picoult novels for the complexi...I really like Jodi Picoult novels for the complexities of human emotions it deals with..bookaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443052150200806183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237074318510841576.post-18148388419578495572010-03-22T16:30:07.032+01:002010-03-22T16:30:07.032+01:00I have this to read soon, but I keep putting it of...I have this to read soon, but I keep putting it off b/c it's so long and I'm afraid it will be too much the same as her other books. I love her books, but usually around this time when books are coming out one year right after the other I start to think the quality starts to decrease. I'm still going to read it and really hope I do like it.

I agree with everything you write here but this one struck me right. I totally agree there is a formula to her writing and the last two of her books, I just did not enjoy as much. <br />You give a great solid honest review and that's what it's all about. i will continue to read all of her books and I won't get too worried about not loving them all. <br />I just thought this topic would be a good one to get discussion going as it is "hot" right now.Michelle (Red Headed Book Child)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02203139179710289533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237074318510841576.post-60940554341771950692010-03-22T14:15:55.898+01:002010-03-22T14:15:55.898+01:00I haven't read any of her books.

I was thinking about getting this one because after a big break I might enjoy, but I've already got a couple of her others on the shelf to read so I think I'll leave it for now.
