I’ve never read Jodi Picoult . Which book should I read first.
Please help me.
I would like to know that too
My sister’s keeper
The storyteller
@Anna loved that!
@Sandra I loved it too. It’s my favourite by the author
@Anna me too!
I agree!!
Probably start with My Sister’s keeper – but they are all great and order doesn”t matter
The Pact!
My sister’s Keeper
And then ALL the others…her books are amazing!!
I loved 19 minutes, would definitely recommend that
I’ve tried her books but they really dont interest me.
Agree
Leaving Time
Why I’m not sure. It may be as simple of her writing styl
Small Great Things
My sisters keeper or small great things
Just read my first Picoult book…Picture Perfect. I liked it. ?
Nineteen Minutes is also good.
Thanks for the recommendations
Pretty much you cannot go wrong with any! She’s an amazing writer. Only ones I’ve not enjoyed were Tenth Circle, Leaving Time and Lone Wolf. The Pact was the first I read of hers…probably near on 20 years ago and I was hooked!
Plain Truth
My daughter collects her books and has read everyone one of them. I will ask her.
My sisters keeper
Plain Truth was my first and Small Great Things was the last one I read. I loved them both. And read many of hers in between, not all of them did I enjoy.
I read The Pact first, then I read my sister’s keeper.
She is able to take a controversial topic and paint it from a completely different angle.
My Sister’s Keeper
Nineteen Minutes
Plain Truth
I liked all these…
Pick up one, and see if you enjoy her style. She certainly gives you something to think about…
My first was The Pact.
My Sister’s Keeper was my first and I was hooked
My first was nineteen minutes. After that I was hooked. The storyteller is my favorite by her.
All are good.
Leaving Time
My Sister’s Keeper was my first. Very good
My Sister’s Keeper.
agree
@Kathryn NO! Awful book.
We like different oness.
Just close your eyes and stick out your hand and that is your first one. They are all good, some happy, some sad, some scary but all good.
The storyteller
Read Small Great Things, very good but very intense
Handle with Care.
I can’t stand her books. Only read if you want to cry or get angry or frustrated characters. People falsely accused of crimes and put to death, children born just to be used to keep another child alive? No thanks, the non-fiction world is hard enough to navigate without losing your mind, why read fiction about it?
Then why did you continue to read them? If I don’t like an author I just move on.
Life’s too short to hate read! Too many wonderful authors out there
Pact or my sister’s keeper
A few of my favorites were 19 Minutes, The Pact, The Storyteller and Cider House Rules. I didn’t particularly care for Keeping Faith.
@Aileen Cider House Rules was written by John Irving
@Dawn oops House Rules. Sorry for the confusion.
@Aileen no prob
@Dawn had to smile, I thought for a moment, “gee, did she actually write a book I liked? “
The first one of hers for me was My Sister’s Keeper.
I started with My Sisters Keeper
Cider house rules is John Irving.
My sisters Keeper.
Great small things. The story teller.
Those are my 2 favorites by her
The Pact
Nineteen Minutes.
The Tenth Circle is where I started. House Rules would be a good one to start with too.
The Pact was the first I read and still my favorite of hers.
None. Lol I’ve tried to read her books SO MANY times and I can’t stand it. I try to like her but don’t.
Maybe give her a go and make up your own mind about her.
I just can’t read her, I read to relax and her books are not a relaxing read for me. Good luck, enjoy which book you choose.
Another vote for My Sisters Keeper!
Loved my sisters keeper and leaving time
The first one I read was plain truth – but have loved all of hers
I first read Perfect Match and it hooked me. I’ve read all of her books, and that one is still one of my favorites.
House Rules is amazing! It was my first Jodi books!
My sister’s keeper
Love all he books that I’ve read so far
What!!! Anything by her is great. I just finished House Rules. Loved it.
Randomly pick one. You can’t go wrong!
Small Great Things is a very timely read.
Absolutely! You can’t go wrong! Some of my favorites are “vanishing acts”, “my sisters keeper”, “the Storyteller” and “change of heart”
I tried to read her book small great things for my book club but couldn’t get past the first 100 pages. Too hateful and intense themes. I don’t care for her writing topics and writing style. Gave it my best effort to be open minded but……..
House rules is my favorite by her so far ?
The pact. My sisters keeper. Small great things.
Small Great Things
They are all good!
My sisters keeper, great book
The Salem Falls and Small Great things were both really good.
I love most of her books, but The Storyteller is by far my favorite.
Love that one
They’re all great!!!!!!
One author I keep trying to like because she has so many fans but I just can’t. I dislike her choice of topics which are straight from whatever is currently in the news and find her writing like chalk on a blackboard only worse. But that’s just me.
House Rules
My Sisters Keepet
Small great things
I love her books – my sisters keeper is great.
Plain Truth
That was the first of hers that I read and it got me hooked!
Nine seconds

My sisters keeper
Thank you very much… I am also “a never have read a Jodi Picolt book”.
Songs of the Humpback Whale, Vanishing Acts, Second Glance, My Sister’s Keeper, or House Rules.
I love them all!!!
Some are better than others- just like any author. The first one I read was The Pact, and loved it!
My Sisters Keeper.
The Pact. Loved that one read it in a day!
They are all amazing!
The first I ever read of hers was her most recent: A Spark of Light. I thought it was so amazing I grabbed Small Great Things off the BN Bargain table in hardback. Now collecting older issues from bargain, thrift and library. I think just grab the first one you can get your hands on. For me – I’m hooked!
My sister’s keeper is a good one.
They’re almost all fabulous. Some better than others, but all worth reading. I too liked My Sister’s Keeper very very much I had resisted it for a long time because I’ve worked 30 years in health care, but my husband brought it home for me once. Intriguing story, keeps you wondering till the very end where she has a genius of a twist
