Julie: Good to hear that eventually you enjoyed Harvesting the Heart – I haven’t read that one yet. I really liked Plain Truth – hope you do too!

I also love reading Picoult’s books. Just finished Harvesting the Heart.. had a little trouble getting “into” it at the beginning but turned out pretty good. I just started reading Plain Truth… Hoping it is as good as the others

Julie: thanks for weighing in on this book – I agree this is a tough book to read, and although I don’t have kids, I have nieces and it makes one think twice, doesn’t it? I enjoy Picoult’s books which often deal with difficult topics.

Just finished this book… Wow… a hard read for any parent but especially a parent that has tweens or teens ( I have a 12 and 10 year old… girls)… Makes you really think how cruel kids can be… This is my 3rd book of Picoults that I have read thus far and have Harvesting the Heart waiting for me.

Mr. Bansford, This blog is not a place where you get a platform to rant and go on and on about banning books. If you read my blog you must know that I do not support banning of books. Your comment, although it purports to show why this book is so horrific, is actually more graphic than the book. I have deleted your comment as this is not the place to push through your causes. If you want to do that, start your own blog. Thank you.

Trish: I can imagine that if you had something like this actually happen close to you, that this would be a tough book to read. It felt very “real” to me. I hope to read her new one at some point as well.
