Mercy Audiobook

" Wonderful, thought provoking. Great characters. "

" Love Jodi Picoult. "

" Usually love the author's books, but this one was depressing and slow. not my cup of tea... "

" Definitely not as good as many of her other books - frequently disjointed. References to those who question "mercy" killing as typically Republican, Catholic, or those with less education is tiring...not to mention offensive. Do yourself a favor Jodi, refrain from marginalizing people...it is petty. "

" Such a timely story line. Again, Picoult adds a tragic twist that hurts the heart! "

" ok - this took me so much longer to read than expected. It definitely wasn't a "can't put down" book and the story line was a little weak. I kept expecting something dramatic to happen between Cam and Mia but it never did. the one thing I loved about this book was the wonderful description on the undying and utterly devotional love that Jaime had for Maggie. Beautifully written every time they were talked about as a couple. "

" I think the book starts out ok but does not end very well. It was disappointment compared to her other novels. "

" It was ok...certainly not her best work! "

" No one understands until you've been there yourself, but it does make you understand more. Her books are thought provoking and definitely worth the read. "

" Had a really hard time trying to read this book. I kept wanting to put it down, but I was reading it for a school project so it had to be done. A not-read for those who aren't supporters of euthanasia. "

" Jodi does it again! "

" I liked this one. It only proves to me that someone will do anything to prove that their love for someone is strong. "

" Well written as picoult always is...but def was not my favorite "

" I really liked the plot of the story, but some of the characters were hard for me to stomach. Definitely a great read, but not one my fav Picoult books. "

" I've read many of Jodi's book and there is always the "other shoe" that drops at the end. Kept waiting for it in this book....Liked it but not one of my favs. "

" I think this may be one of my least favorite Jodi Picoult books! "

" I'm a huge fan of her books but I was a little disappointed in this one. It didn't pull at my heart with this story line. It was touching but not gut wrenching. The characters in the book were flat. "

" I really can't put my finger on what I loved about this book - the subject matter is dark and depressing, but I just could not put the book down. I was reading it during the SuperBowl! There was something about the separate story lines and the characters that I found thoroughly engrossing. "

" It was ok. Not as easy to get into as other books by this author. Story was okay but not great. "

" If this was the first book I had picked up by her, I probably would not have picked up another. This book was full of greedy and spineless characters fumbling around. "

" had to stop reading this, so boring. got to page 102.....ahhh! waste of time! "

" This started out a little slow but then really kept me interested the more I read. "

" Not Picoult's best. "

" Amazing, like all her other books... they all leave me breathless! "

" Jodi does it again! "

" Still trying to figure out who the love letters belonged to throughout the book were the Cam to Mia, Jamie to Maggie? I should be able to figure this out... "

" I didn't think this was as believable as so many of her other books are, and many of the characters felt one-dimensional. "

" What would you do for the one you love the most? This book takes a look at that from different perspectives. I really enjoy the way Jodi takes an issue and really makes the reader look at both sides. "

" One of most favorite of hers!!!! Made me open my eyes to real love "

" Not one of her best but still more than readable the three main characters can be annoying "

" Another book about a controversial social issue, which she writes so well about. I enjoyed the book. It wasn't written in the same style that I'm accustomed to by Jodi Picoult, but it was still a good read. "

" Not her best but it was good. "

" Husband suffocates dying wife with a pillow at her request. "

" I don't know what this book is about. Probably the last of Jodi Picoults book I'm going to read. Didn't finish it. "

" This book was centered on interesting themes about love and what it really means to love someone. But I didn't find myself connecting with any of the characters. They didn't seem real to me. "

" Semi-similar to Pact... But not as good. "

" I did not like this book at all. it made me unhappy while I was reading and self conscious "

" Found this book bery slow and hard to get into. I usually like Jodi Picoult but was disappointed with this one. "

" Not her best. Eh "

" I usually love Jodi Picoult books, but this was not one of her top books for me. "

" Couldn't put it down but a little disappointed in the end, it ended sort of abruptly. "

" its been a while since I read this book, but I really liked it. "

" It was okay - not my favorite of hers. I certainly didn't hate it (it's Jodi P - not going to be bad), but not one of her best. "

" I would never ask a spouse to that... "

" I think this is my 6th Jodi Piccoult book and I am still amazed by her ability to bring out many sides of an issue with her character development.I find when reading her books I am challenged to look at my own prejudices. another good read! "

" Highly predictable, but as this was one of her earlier novels, it was nice to read something that was a little different than her usual formula. "

" The novel, Mercy, discusses the question of whether or not it is right to participate in mercy killing (euthanasia). Picoult provides both sides to this debate and writes in such a way that every reader will come away from her books with questions and new ideas. I definitely recommend this book. "

" Again, Picoult writes on another tough subject; assisted suicide. I did not care for the character of the husband in this book... "

" A- A man arrives in the town of his distant cousin (who is a cop) and confesses he murdered his wife - it was a mercy killing. She was dying of a painful horrible cancer - and begged her husband to kill her. The law case, the cop cousin, his wife, the drama...Sad. "

" Liked some of her other books better. However, Picoult writes very well--heartfelt. "

" Diferente do costume, talvez por ter sido dos primeiros livros da autora. Mesmo assim, gostei muito. "

" I had a hard time getting into this book and it took me longer than usual to read it. Overall, it was ok. "

" In this novel, i really hate Cam because he betrayed Allie and fall in love with Mia. Allie do anything to make Cam happy.Its just not fair to Allie.While Allie was out of town to get the key,Cam and Mia take that chance. "

" Took a while to get into but I was happy I kept reading it. It picked up as it went along and I LOVED the ending! "

" I really should have stuck with my rule on this one. I usually don't read any more than 50 pages unless I'm really in love with the book. I FINALLY got into the story at about page 250 of this 400 page story and then it ended in a very unsatisfactory way. Oh, well...onward and upward :-) "

" i really did like this book, but it was hard to get into at first. "

" This is an all time favorite that I've read more than once. The opening will grip you. And, let's face it; every woman's been there where they feel like doing exactly what the heroine, Allie, did here. "

" Listening to this book on CD. Hands down Picouts weakest book. The inconsistencies drove me crazy "

" I read this book on the beach during vacation. Good beach-read but that's about it. I've read about three books by Picoult but I've never really been blown away. "

" Hard going in places, kind of one of those books where you end up skipping loads of pages :( "

" It's been a tough read. I have restarted this same book 3 times. I am currently in my fourth and I want to get close to straight through it. It is not that it isn't interesting, there is just alot of background knowledge throughout the first 200 pages. "

" An interesting topic and a good read. Very sad but would recommend it highly. "

" This story tore my heart out, mangled it all up, and shoved it back in my chest. Crying is never okay. Crying on the side of the pool with snot hanging out of my nose is even worse. "

" Saw a bit of The Outlander series and Waiting to Exhale in this book. Cam/Mia/Allie storyline is beyond belief. Finished the book only to see what happened to Jamie, which was predictable. "

" Worst picoult book I've read by far. "
