Handle With Care by Jodi Picoult (Book Review)

Let me start by saying...I absolutely loved this book!!!!  In fact, I stayed up until 3:00 a.m. this morning to finish it.  The thing I loved most about Handle With Care was the fact that the story is told through the eyes of all the different characters as if they are talking directly to the main character.  Even better, I could relate with every single character even though they each had vastly different views and opinions on the key issue of the book.  I believe this is the first book I have read by Jodi Picoult, and now I am hooked on her works.  The only draw-back (if you will) to this book is that it is unbelievably sad.  Jodi said herself that this is the saddest book she has ever written.  I hope everyone who sees this book will take the time to read it.  I have to say, I couldn't put it down.  This is especially a great book for mothers, in particular mothers who have children with disabilities.

Rating for Handle With Care   *****  5 out of 5 stars
