MAD HONEY - Jodi Picoult

I haven't been reading much. Our book club broke up because none of us wanted to read the others' book selections. We were in our eighties mostly and eye problems, etc. slowed us down. However, a group of younger women I spend time with almost pushed me into reading Mad Honey. I have never read Jodi Picoult before and thought, having seen her books around for years, that she was probably one of those writers that writes for young women and their book clubs. I soldiered in until I reached just about half way when I was hit hard and the book became a grabber of interest and a learning experience. I can only say Read It. Don't study up on it beforehand....just dive in. Some of the writing was a little disjointed and that might have been because it was a two person collaboration. There were chances to nitpick characters and plot development, but it was a beautiful thing and I heartily recommend reading it right away. Our local library has 19 copies and they are all out.....similarly with the other forms of reading they offer.
