      The copy I own is signed by the author Jodi Picoult! I saw Jodi speak on March 23, 2005. I enjoyed hearing her speak. It was so refreshing and interesting to hear her thoughts on how her books turned out and what prompted her to write what she did.Vanishing Acts is good, but it definately isn't my favorite of her novels. I can't imagine finding out that the only parent you know actually kidnapped you when you were 3 or 4 years-old. Picoult again used the method of telling the stories from different perspectives. Each chapter was told from 1 of 4 perspectives--Delia, the girl who was kidnapped and now 30-something with her own daughter; Eric, her alcoholic fiancee and the father of her daughter; Fitz, the friend of both Eric and Delia Fitz has been in love with Delia for always; and Andrew, Delia's father who took her away from her mother.You can tell the research Picoult does for her novels. Everything seems so real and realistic.

      I enjoyed this novel a great deal. I think it definately helped me to understand the amish culture better. I wanted to know what happened next which made the book very hard to put down. I think this could make a good discussion book. I found it appropriate for YAs, however, I am not sure they would be overly interested in the subject matter.

Cover of "Perfect Match"

    • Very good, but not as good as My Sister's Keeper. I can't imagine being in Nina's situation. I am a little disappointed in the ending, it's almost as if she got away with it. I would definitely be interested in a discussion of this one.

    • This would be such a great book to read and discuss. I don't even know where to start with what issues it covers. Bioethics, life and death, organ donation, independent children, family relationships, etc.Having listened to this, I would like to sit down and read and take notes. This book and Picoul ...

      This would be such a great book to read and discuss. I don't even know where to start with what issues it covers. Bioethics, life and death, organ donation, independent children, family relationships, etc.Having listened to this, I would like to sit down and read and take notes. This book and Picoult's other book Plain Truth might just inspire me to start an adult book club.I wonder what I would do if I was a parent. Would I try to have a gentic match to my child to save him/her? or would I let them die? Is that even legal right now?I now own an authographed copy of the paperback!! 3/25/05
