I adore this author's novels:
I read some of them such as My sister's keeper (http://www.jodipicoult.com/my-sisters-keeper.html)
(Its about two sisters Anna and Kate who has been plagued by leukemia ,so Anna was actuallyconceived as a bone marrow match for Kate,and she goes through various surgeries, transfusions,.etc.So her sister Kate can survive ,Until Anna make the desicion that might lead to her sister's death)
this novel is one of my Favourites <3<3<3 .
The second one I read is Sallem Falls (http://www.jodipicoult.com/salem-falls.html)
a very good one but not as good as my sister's keeper IMO: (about a male teacher who was accused un failry of sexually abusing one of his female students and was sent to jail eventhough he was innocent,when he gets out ,he goes to asmall town were he is given adish washer job but clearly even there peoplems are following him)
Its worth reading actually,its very interestin But as I said I prefer My sister's keeper.
the third one is :plain truth (http://www.jodipicoult.com/plain-truth.html)
IMO this is the second best : (Its about an amish girl who was un married but who concieved ababy and was accused of killing it and then a lawyer comes to defend her who isn't amish but who gets to know them better and understand them while she is living with them)
Its veeeeeery nice and full of informations I didn't know with an unexpected ending.
I have vanishing acts too but still didn't read it.
So discuss please if you have read any of her novels.

Cool, another Jodi Picoult fan, Sarah! :Domo

I love all those books. My Sister's Keeper is one of my favourite books ever. I also love another book, The Pact (http://www.jodipicoult.com/the-pact.html). Its to do with two couples, the Golds and Harts who have been neighbours and close friends for 18 years. They have two children, Emily Gold and Chris Hart who grew up together and became lovers. Then one night, the couples get a call. Emily is dead from a gunshot wound to the head. There's a single unspent bullet in the gun that Chris took from his father's cabinet-- a bullet that Chris tells police he intended for himself. But a local detective has doubts about the suicide pact that Chris has described. Book revolves around the trial, the couples' relationship, Chris' time in gaol/jail, and what really happened to Emily.

It was such a great read that i couldn't put it down. Finished it in two days, all 438 pages..and still had time to do holiday things ^_^

Yeah I wanted to buy the pact but when I read the review on the back cover,I was like No I can't read something that might depress me now >.<.Espically that Jodi's Novels tends to have an expected ending.Like My sister's keeper,I mean who would've thought that the ending will be like that?
