“Somebody who’s a terrific writer who’s been
very, very successful is Jodi Picoult”
– Stephen King, in USA Today, 2/09
“Picoult is a skilled wordsmith, and she
beautifully creates situations that not only provoke the mind but
touch the flawed souls in all of us.”
— Boston Globe
“If Jodi Picoult were a general, she would be
Patton; if a sports franchise, the New York Yankees; if a natural
phenomenon, the sunrise. Which is to say, Picoult is not merely
relentless - so are allergies and colds - but exquisitely so.”
—Tampa Tribune
“Turning the pages, all you’ll care about is
what happens next. That’s the mark of pretty much every
Jodi Picoult book, and it’s the reason she keeps topping
best-seller lists.”
—San Antonio Express News
“Jodi Picoult writes novels mothers and
daughters can agree on even if they disagree on almost everything
else.”
—NY Daily News
“Picoult is a rare writer who delivers book
after book, a winning combination of the literary and the
commercial.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Jodi Picoult explores dark places in perfect
suburban lives. It's easy to understand her best-seller
status.”
—Midwest Book Review
“Picoult is a master in dissecting and
describing the tangle of family relationships and the
counterbalance of love.”
—Tampa Tribune
“Picoult is a master of the craft of
storytelling ”
—Book Review, AP news wire
“Anyone who has read any of the dozen books
that prolific Jodi Picoult has released in the past 14 years knows
that she is arguably the Queen of the Topical Novel.”
—Miami Herald
“Ms. Picoult is a solid, lively
storyteller.”
—The New York Times
“Ms. Picoult has carved her own niche with her
novels – one part romance, one part courtroom thriller, two parts
social commentary.”
—Dallas Morning News
“Beginning with her first book… Picoult has
refused to sweat the small stuff. She's concerned with love and
truth, the blurry boundary lines implied by both. She forces the
reader to look, however uncomfortable the experience might be, at
complacent people who discover, much too late, the sad disparity
between what they thought they knew and what they know now.”
— Orlando Sentinel Tribune
“Jodi Picoult reminds me of Sue Miller. She's
a writer with literary flair who can also please the public.”
—Philadelphia Inquirer
“Picoult makes her characters real as
reality.”
—Concord Monitor
“Her storytelling ability has established
herself firmly in the ranks of highly regarded novelists, which, at
age 38, is a very impressive accomplishment.... Picoult always
writes with depth and clarity. She refrains from delivering the
happily ever after ending to her stories, but rather presents
thought-provoking questions about the human condition.”
—Ocean County Observer
“Picoult's novels never disappoint the
reader.”
—Ann Hood, The Sunday Journal, (Providence, RI)
“Jodi Picoult is a gifted storyteller whose
compelling works profoundly impact her audience.”
—The Midwest Book Review
“Picoult is known for writing fictional
page-turners that address controversial issues.”
—Washington Post
“With a strong, topical theme, Picoult gets
into the heads of her well-developed characters.”
—The Daily Telegraph (Sydney Australia)
“Picoult has created something of a
trademark.”
—Courier Mail (Queensland, Australia)
