Vicki Mock asked this question about Wish You Were Here:
I'm very nervous to purchase another Jodi Picoult book. She was always my favorite author. However her last to books where so bad and more of a lecture or text book than an enjoyable novel I hate to waste anymore money on her writing. Has anyone here read her last couple of books as well as this one? Is this up to her previous standards?
Judith NO, this book is not up to Picoult's "old" standards. Small Great Things, and My Sister's Keeper are the 2 most outstanding books from her earlier and…moreNO, this book is not up to Picoult's "old" standards. Small Great Things, and My Sister's Keeper are the 2 most outstanding books from her earlier and best work. More recently, her writing has been over-researched & tedious...namely Book of Two Ways, & Leaving Time, where you have to search for the storyline in a maze of too much information. Spark of Light is just plain awful, DNF. This book is all over the place & premature since Covid is still raging.(less)
