At first I wasn't going to buy it simply because I have way too many books on my "to read list". But then, standing in Walmart, I read the first few pages. Oh wow. Are there ever words to describe how she can make you feel so many different emotions? It was interesting to read from everyone's point of few, which I think broadens how you can relate to a character. It also gives you glimpses that the other characters can't see. I loved this book. Okay, wait, until the very last page. I had to re-r

Another great story by Picoult. Although the courtroom drama is getting to be an ongoing theme in all of her books lately I still enjoyed it. This story about a 6yr old with Brittle Bone disease is brutally eye-opening for someone who has never dealt first-hand with someone living with a disability.
I'm waiting for Picoult to come out with a book that doesn't involve lawyers or doctors. I became addicted to her novels after reading My Sister's Keeper but it is now hard for me to continue the not ...more

Jodi is losing her touch. Handle With Care, like Change of Heart, captured Jodi's ability to convey emotion and her knowledge of the justice system. Both books, however, lacked any real story or sense of drama.

As with all Picoult books, there was a twist at the end. I found this one very predictable... but I think it's because I've read all of her books. I liked it a great deal, as it really made you think about the difficult decisions we all have to make sometimes.

I really enjoyed this book. I can see why some would have a hard time liking Charlotte, though I can understand where she is coming from in starting this lawsuit. It was sad to see how it (lawsuit) affected the family, especially Amilia. I often time found myself upset with her parents who seemed to ignore her and focus all of thier attention on Willow. Though Willow required lots of attenetion, especially when she was suffering a break, I was saddened that Amilia was was just expected to deal w

I wasn't sure I would like this at first. I have been having bad luck with Jodi lately, picking some of her not best works. But this one I liked very well.

intense, lovingly respectful; thoughtful, and thought provoking. Jodi writes with the unique tone from an author's first person narrative (as she does often, and weaving other perspectives into the story telling) but the writing directed at the daughter who, from birth, needs to be "handled with care"....
The tone, as she captures the attitudes of teenagers, is well done; familiar with another of her books (which, if anything is it's only downside: is the familiarity of the approach she takes in ...more

I had a hard time with book. The mother was not very likeable. At times I understood where she was coming from. I liked Sean and Willow. I felt sorry for Piper. There was really nothing wrong with the story, I just did not like that well.
This one was emotionally charged for me. I very much enjoyed it and I loved Willow and sympathized with Amelia. Lovely family. Tough subject matter. Gut-wrenching ending. I would HIGHLY recommend the book. I loved it.
Another great Jodi book, although didn't care for the ending. Seems kinda cheap.

I'm not sure how to rate this. I didn't like the ending. Hmm. I don't know.
