Perhaps thats a shared thought with other Picoult readers. Anyhow, despite my sensitivity toward some of the subject matter in Mercy, I hesistated to post the book because something about it made me want to keep it on my own shelf. I will mention, I am one of those readers that sometimes needs to cheat to the end to see if the hours and hours of reading will be worth it (boy was I proud I did that with Wally Lamb's The Hour I First Believed).

Despite my initial judgement of the book after finding out there was more to the plot than the back cover shared, I still felt encouraged to complete the book. I had tried to read "My Sister's Keeper" a few years ago but wasn't motivated. This was my first Jodi Picoult book I read cover to cover.
