Plain Truth 262 reviews Jodi Picoult
Washington Square Press, 2001
My favorite Picoult novel to date -

Muse 15 reviews Michael Ceclione
Kensington, 1999
Don't give up
+ Musing & Reviewing + Muse
After reading everyone else's reviews, I feel I must throw in my two cents worth. I have rated this book 5 stars after a great deal of consideration. I believe it deserves the 5 stars. I almost threw this book away before I was halfway through. It was dragging; I kept wondering when the story was ...

This is a really cute book. A fun read. However, one thing drove me absolutely crazy. One character, Rachel, is from Sugarland, Texas. The author makes it sound like a dinky little town in the middle of nowhere. For those of you who don't know, Sugarland is a city on the outskirts of Houston. It is ...

Read it in one sitting.
+ Horribly depressing + A family torn in just mintues.
Someone gave me this book and it didn't sound like anything I'd want to read, I'm usually a mystery, thriller type person. I thought I'd just read the first few pages to see what it was about, I could not put it down. This is a book every mother will relate to. This book will rip your heart out. ...
