2.0 out of 5 stars
worst jodi picoult book,
By Tracey Clark (ontario, canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mercy (Paperback)
I've really enjoyed all of Jodi Picoults books, but this one i just cant get into. All of her other books i read in two or three days, but this one i have been reading for three weeks. I'm almost finished but that's only because i don't like to leave a book half read. I also didn't like Songs of A Humpback whale, but i've loved every other one of her books.

Would You Help Your Loved One Die if They're Terminal?,
By
This review is from: Mercy (Paperback)
This book was really good and hard to put down. I enjoyed the story all the way through. The basic plot of the story was Jamie's deep love for his wife Maggie, who became terminally ill and suffered. She wanted Jamie to help her die, and so he did, but not without hardship and a big jury trial in the end. Cameron McDonald, a police chief, doesn't agree at all with his wife Allie, and this creates hardship and a betrayal in their marriage. Allie feels that Jamie was in the right, where Cam feels he deserves punishment for his actions even though in his very ill wife's best interests. The story reaches a great climax with many surprises at the end.

Mercy Killing?,
By TJ's Mommy (El Dorado Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mercy (Paperback)
This book was the chosen selection for our book club this month. We were all intrigued by the excerpt and it was a unanimous decision. There's the topic of love, deceit, murder, and selfishness. It is a story that will capture your attention and you'll feel for these characters.Euthanasia is not something that I've ever thought of before, in relation to my life. In this story, Jamie MacDonald confesses to killing his wife because she asked him to end her life and battle with cancer. The theory is that he loves her so much that he would do anything she asked of him. That really makes you question what you would do if put in the same situation. Cameron and Allie MacDonald are married and lead a satisfying life. Cam is the police chief of the town and Allie is his doting wife. When Jamie comes to town it puts a barrier between the two of them. Allie loves Cam so much, and can understand where Jamie is coming from. Cam doesn't see it that way and views his cousin as a murderer. But Cam doesn't have a problem being a liar! Through all of this he cheats on his wife and deceives her...supposedly in the name of love. This story really makes you question what you would do for love and how far you would go. I recommend this story, especially to book club groups. I can see it leading to a bunch of discussion.
