I have enjoyed previous Picoult books but have kind of slacked off on reading her but this one seems to be one of her better ones.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689206379659379100.post-2884629897139441422010-03-27T15:23:46.498-05:002010-03-27T15:23:46.498-05:00Dave & Tami..I owe you and Jodi Picoult a big...Dave & Tami..I owe you and Jodi Picoult a big thanks. When I saw the book review, it brought me to your Challenge. I am also an avid reader. I haven't read House Rules, but intend to. Picoult is a favorite of mine. She consistently writes stories with characters who intrigue me, captivate me, challenge the beliefs I have about myself, human nature and the world in general. Her stories are fresh and non-predictable. I would highly recommend Thirteen Minutes, and The Pact as well. I look forward to reading many more of hers as well as finding many more authors I enjoy through the Take another Chance Challenge .<br />Thank You. Happy Reading. :)dianethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262738884893397954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689206379659379100.post-34162276944766944922010-03-25T15:23:05.944-05:002010-03-25T15:23:05.944-05:00I may have to check this out, too.

I really detest non-fiction books. :( What's a girl to do when her hubby keeps buying them for her? Although, I am not really sure what his motives are, yet. Anyway... About a month ago we watched a movie about a man with AS called Adam, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1185836/ I also found it eye opening.Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803842518990762763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689206379659379100.post-63812993956068680812010-03-23T13:08:44.413-05:002010-03-23T13:08:44.413-05:00I utterly agree with your reasons for why multiple...I utterly agree with your reasons for why multiple character perspectives enhance a reading experience, rather than making it cluttered and confusing. I'm big into character development - and the more we know of and through a character, the more interesting the plot can be. Jumping around does make a lot of readers dizzy - but given a chance, the technique flows nicely and isn't even noticeable. I haven't read this book - only My Sister's Keeper. It seems she follows the same method of writing in every book. As long as she does it well each time, I see nothing wrong with that.The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689206379659379100.post-32967611440141482822010-03-22T18:20:19.063-05:002010-03-22T18:20:19.063-05:00I am loving this book (in progress).
