Outstanding and timely. I felt as if current events could be coming directly from this story...or vice versa.
I will be thinking about it for quite awhile.

Small Great Things kept me interested from the first page to the last. It's Jodi Picoult's best book in awhile, in my opinion. The topic was timely, as well -- racism. As with most of Picoult's books, there is a twist at the end.

Loved it!

Excellent book. It addresses an issue that others feel uncomfortable to discuss. I was very interested to see why Jodi Piccoult chose this topic as her story. Her notes at the end were very thoughtful and provoking. I would recommend this book to everyone to read so they can look within themselves to examine how they would handle such a situation.
