Jodi Picoult Books Reading Group. discussion

Who is your favorite character in Jodi's books? Mine is Jordan, the lawyer. I get extremely excited when I see him in various books.

i think my favourite character was williow from handle with care. she just felt so real, i started to really care about her

A minor character I liked was the mom in Sing Me Home. She really made me smile especially her court testimony.

I admire the strength, the care, and how sensitive he is in Daniel from the tenth circle.

I have favorites from every book! I really like Jordan Mcafe (spelling?), Patrick Ducharme, I like Katie Fisher from Plain Truth, Maggie Bloom from Change of Heart, Addie Peabody from Salem Falls, and Josie Courmier from 19 minutes. The characters from JP books always feel like friends to me, because I really get to know them.

My favorite Picoult character is Jacob Hunt from House Rules. I identify with him on several levels. Even though our disabilities are different, I can empathize with him in some cases. For example, when I was in K-12 education, some peers didn't want to be seen with the "blind girl." Jacob being called freak or retard really got to me. I also identify with him because of all the knowledge he has in forensics. I have lots of knowledge in specialized fields. Finally, I identify with his need for routine. I'm able to make changes but I don't like it.

The dad in My Sister's Keeper! I felt that he was written in a way where you could feel how much he loved each of his family members and identifying with him was so easy.

My favourite character is probably Cara from lone wolf or Faith from keeping Faith. Both I felt closest to. I admired Cara's strength and courage and then I felt great sympathy for Faith. I just can't choose between both of them

Jordan!! I so hope she writes something soon with him in it again.

I don't think I have one. I can't choose.

I cannot choose one. A lot of the characters I love
