My Sister's Keeper is a great book- but the only Jodi Piccoult I have read. I will read her others some time...

Of her books I've only read My Sister's Keeper. It was a nice read though not as thought-provoking or intense as I thought it would be. Not one of my fav books, but I'll pick up her other ones some time down the track.

i cant wait to read her new one!!.... i realise i am reviving a very old thread here but i thought it was worth it... i have read my sister's keeper, the pact and keeping faith, all of which were great... my sister's keeper is my favourite so far.

i've read three so far and wanna read "the pact", "salem falls" and ummm "picture perfect" i think...

My sister's keeper is head and shoulders above the other two I've read, perfect match and vanishing act.

Perfect Match was pretty good but Vanishing Act was awful. Didn't like it at all! I could not empathise with the characters at all and the main character was freaking irritating!

"My Sister's Keeper" is in my list of top 5 books I've ever read though.

I've read sister keeper, the pact, vanishing act, perfect match, keeping faith, and another one which I cant remember.

I agree with Sarach168 - I couldnt get into vanishing act at all. I also didnt like the ending, how she just went off with the friend; I thought it was all a bit too fake.

I loved my sisters keeper (I cried so much!), also didnt mind the pact, perfect match and keeping faith. I havent read her newest one yet, I should be concentrating on my const exam :eek:

I think she is an excellent writer. So far I have read 'My Sister's Keeper' which would be so far my favourite, 'The Pact' and her latest one 'The Tenth Circle' which is also pretty good.

How awsome is she!!! I have read:
- the pact - awsome
- my sisters keeper - omg get out the tissues for this one!
- vanishing acts - crappest by far - too hard to get into
- perfect match - good but hard to identify with nina
- the tenth circle - great to start with but fell off a bit at the end
- currently reading keeping faith

I just cant seem to stray from her!!!

OMG I can't believe this thread exist's, I have enjoy her books so much (My Sister's Keeper; The Pact) and Yes I cried so much in MSK, only the heartless couldn't. But I can't bring myself to read the others cause they all seem to be based around Court or crimes, and I don't want to destroy the image I have of Piccoult.

Someone PLEASE write good reviews for the others!!!

I didn't cry in My Sister's Keeper, the ending was appalling... SO contrived.
The Pact was good, well paced, I thought. My favourite of hers.
Perfect Match was ok, not my favourite but decent.

Haven't read any others of hers yet.
