Harvesting the Heart: A Novel Salem Falls Picture Perfect Keeping Faith Nineteen Minutes

Editorial Reviews:

Police chief of a small Massachusetts town, Cameron McDonald makes the toughest arrest of his life when his own cousin Jamie comes to him and confesses outright that he has killed his terminally ill wife out of mercy.

Now, a heated murder trial plunges the town into upheaval, and drives a wedge into a contented marriage: Cameron, aiding the prosecution in their case against Jamie, is suddenly at odds with his devoted wife, Allie -- seduced by the idea of a man so in love with his wife that he'd grant all her wishes, even her wish to end her life. And when an inexplicable attraction leads to a shocking betrayal, Allie faces the hardest questions of the heart: when does love cross the line of moral obligation? And what does it mean to truly love another?

Praised for her "personal, detail-rich style" (Glamour), Jodi Picoult infuses this page-turning novel with heart, warmth, and startling candor, taking readers on an unforgettable emotional journey.

Summary: This book isn't actually about mercy killing
Comment: Although I was a tremendous fan of "My Sister's Keeper", I've been summarily disappointed by all her other books, except for this one. The characters who are realistically flawed, the writing is amazing, and the part about the trial was lovely to read. This isn't a book about mercy killings. It's a book about love. Jamie is condemned for having loved his wife too much, to the point where he was willing to kill her when she selfishly asked, knowing that it would destroy him physically and mentally. Cam, the police chief and star witness, cheats on his doting wife and yet is hailed as the lord of the town. This book brings about original, startling revelations about love that most people would never have thought of. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Picoult
Comment: I have many (most ) of Jodi Picoult books. I loved the first 2-3 I read. 19 Minutes, My Sister's Keeper and a few others. Mercy was not one of my favorites, nor was Keeping Faith. maybe I am getting tired of her books, but they use to grab me on page one. Both of these books seemed to drag. They also were more predictable than others in her series. It seems like she is researching topics of interest to her and spinning them into books. The discussion of stamata was interesting, but it seemed to occupy too much of the story. Mercy also seemed to drag in spots. I am accustomed to reading her books quickly, hardly waiting to turn the page.

Summary: Irritating
Comment: This is the fifth Jodi Picoult's novel I've read and probably will be the last one. I almost put it down because it simply got to my nerves. That Cameron Mc Donald was such a selfish, arrogant and weak man and Allie, his wife, such a pushover, that I just could not stand neither one of them. What irritated me most was the fact that after finding out that he was betraying her, Allie punishes Cam, but then forgives him (a deduction based on the notes Cam writes to Mia, which are on the left page at the beginning of each chapter). A good sequel would be one with Allie, leaving this guy for good, leaving town, overcoming her low self esteem and finding true love with a real man, not with the kind of male characters that Jodi Picoult usually creates, which seem to be very handsome and attractive but extremely stupid and airhead(for reference, see Salem Falls' Jack St. Bride and Second Glance's Ross Wakeman).

Summary: Premise is Good....Book Is NOT
Comment: I thought this would be a really good book. Wrong. The characters are boring. The story bounces all over the place losing the readers interest. It goes no where fast.

Picoult dropped the ball on this book. It was so bad I couldn't get more than half way through it.
