I found myself getting a little annoyed with parts of this book but in the end I wound up really enjoying it. It's the story of a death row inmate who wants to donate his heart to the sister of his victim. As usual Picoult raises some pretty heavy moral issues and definitely makes you think.

Interesting story, although the twist was obvious fairly early in the book.
Jodi always knows how to make me cry. Even though I figured out the twist from the very beginning, I enjoyed this read. I seem to keep reading religious themes these days, even though I'm really not religious.

I liked this. It was a lot of Religion but it was done in a good way. I did have the Twist figured out fairly early, but it didn't take a way from the book. If you liked Keeping Faith you will like this one.
