Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult (2007, Paperback, Reprint)

Jody Picoult is a great author. I have not read a book of hers I didn't like. She puts a lot of research into the books she writes.

I have just recently discovered Jodi Picoult books and have loved each one I have read. This one was particularly facinating to me since I have lived all my life in a neighboring county to Lancaster Pennsylvania, without ever fully understanding much about the Amish and how they live. I could really relate to the descriptions of tourists trying to catch a glimpse of or take pictures of the Amish as they travel in their buggies alongside highways with fast moving vehicles. This book was inciteful, suspensefull and left me wanting more. All of Jodi Picoult books leave the reader with a lot of fruit for discussion. I can't wait to have my friends read this one so that we can discuss it, as we have done the other books of hers that we have read.

This was a great book and a real easy read. I decided to buy it because it was recommended by our book club. Every week we have another book to read and this was a great fast book.

Jodi Picoult has become one of my favorite authors, and she definitely did not let me down here. Plain Truth was intriguing from the very first page, and kept me guessing until the end. Her characters are so true-to-life; I felt like I really knew them by the end.
In addition, the work that must have gone into preparing such a story about Amish life is unbelievable. I learned so much about the Amish culture and gained a respect for the society as a whole.
Take the time to read this amazing story. You won't regret it.

Plain Truth was very easy to read and could not put down. Jodi Picoult is an excellent author and I plan on reading more of her work.

This book was picked by my book club. I haven't finished reading it yet, but I keep getting a directive to review this item, so this is it.
