Ever since I read The Tenth Circle, Jodi Picoult has been one of my favorite authors. Now, I have not managed to read every novel that she has written...and it is not very likely that I will put in much of an effort to track down her older novels...but I've enjoyed almost all of the novels that she ...

A story within a story, within a story. In The Storyteller, Jodi Picoult is telling the story of a traumatized, socially inept, woman named Sage Singer. Sage is a baker, preferring to work alone at night and having absolutely no contact with the human race, because of the loss she'd suffered. In...

This book is what I love about Jodi Picoult. I have read a large selection of her work, and I think this book by far is the best I have read yet.

Thanks to Picoult’s research, her stories about baking bread and shaving dead people’s faces were quite enjoyable to read (though the flashbacks were a bit...

Originally posted at Gypsy ReviewsJodi Picoult is one of my favourite authors, no matter she likes to employ a familiar in her books but she manages to write people so beautifully and realistically. Each of her books focuses on a different issue and through her books she manages to spread awareness ...

Meh... Contrived characters and a story line that was not too hard to predict. Not horrible, but nothing noteworthy IMHO.

One of the books I have read this far this year. This is one of those books that makes you think long after you put it down, the first 1/3 was a little slow and boring but after that it turns into an amazing read
