Change of Heart has to be my least favorite book by Jodi Picoult. As always she picked an interesting topic that opens to so many discussions but this time, in my opinion, she messed up badly. In this book a convicted murderer is sentenced to death. As a last wish he wants to donate his heart to a...
I agree with those who wrote that this book isn't for everyone; it's a tough subject. But it's very intriguing with characters that grab your interest and (for me at least) your sympathy. I felt there was a build up to the twist at the end of the book and it was one of those wow endings that garn...
The story tackles the controversial subject of capital punishment. Convicted of a double murder, a man awaits execution. In a macabre twist, he wants to donate his heart to the daughter of a woman, whose first child, he was convicted of murdering. As can be expected, she vehemently opposes this once...
(3.5 Stars)Looking at this novel I thought I new exactly what I was letting myself in for, and had pretty much made up my mind about the central dilemma (of course you’d take the heart; it’s not like your daughter’s going to turn into a murderer for Christ’s sake). However, Change of Heart isn’t rea...
Ironically, I had read 'The Green Mile' just before I read this book and thought there were quite a few similarities. A man who has powers that can't be explained by himself or anyone else is convicted for murder that he may not have committed and is sentenced to death. The story isn't exactly the s...
This was the first Picoult I read that I didn't really enjoy much at all. I don't like giving one of her books only 2 stars but I can't say it was more than "ok".The storyline was very mediocre and much too predictable. The whole religious aspect was also not for me. The chapters of Michael were muc...
The opening words of the book are, "In the beginning, I believed in second chances." That sets the ominous tone for the rest of the book. Will she believe in second chances in the end? This book centers around religion and explores issues related to forgiveness and social issues surrounding capit...
I keep going back to this author and find that I am hot and cold on her books on an individual basis. This is the story of a death row inmate who brutally murdered a police officer and his daughter. Now, facing death, he wants redemption by donating his heart to the sister of the little girl he mu...
