    Re: I've just finished my first Jodi Picoult book....

    Hi!  I've read quite a few Jodie Picoults and enjoy them usually although I don't think I would want to read one after another as I think I'd find them a bit samey and I like to chop and change styles of book a bit.

    But over the summer I tried to read Tenth Circle and I'm afraid I had to give up - because of the subject matter.   I knew it was about an alleged rape of a 14 year old and could cope with that and I'm not a prude by any means but was uncomfortable with the portrayal of 14 year olds participating in near orgies.  Under age sex, yes, can readily accept this but the protrayal of what was going on at the party made me feel yuck!  I think I was partly influenced by the fact that I was reading it on a holiday with my 12 1/2 year old daughter who often asks me what I'm reading and what it's about....

    It sounds like I'm in the minority though!

    I may come across like a real prude but honestly I'm not!

    I wasn't keen on Salems Lot or the Pact but My sisters keeper was brilliant and I couldn't put it down. I will try to read some more of hers

    I'd suggest not reading to many to quickly, I agree they're good books but it's easy to see what's coming if you make the mistake of reading 4 in a go (as I did).

     At the moment I am reading Nineteen Minutes. It is about a school shooting. I am very impressed with it and I like how it looks at it from different view points. It is my first Jodi Picoult book and I will read more of hers.

    I am just starting my first Jodi Picoult book as I have a few of hers on my TBR now. I decided to read Salem Falls first.

     I'm half way through 'Handle With Care' - her next novel, due to be published in March this year - it's a corker, I'm loving every page and only wish I didnt have to go to work this week - I just want to read and read!
