ANGEL FALLS by Kristin Hannah
Jodi Picoult’s CHANGE OF HEART narrated by Jim Frangione (Lucius), Stafford Clark-Price (Michael), Nicole Poole (June), Danielle Ferland (Maggie), Jennifer Ikeda (Clare)
Jodi Picoult’s fifteenth novel CHANGE OF HEART is leisurely, and perhaps overlong, but that didn’t matter to me, as the slow unspooling of tragedy, loss, courage and kindness kept me enthralled. Shay […]
NINETEEN MINUTES by Jodi Picoult narrated by Carol Monda
NINETEEN MINUTES is the novel that cemented the reputation of author Jodi Picoult, becoming her first book to debut at #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list. As everyone knows, […]
Jodi Picoult’s THE TENTH CIRCLE narrated by Carol Monda
Hmmm. I feel a bit mixed about this one. The positives for me were the link to Dante (one of my favorite authors) and how Jodi Picoult’s wonderful imagination created a Tenth […]
VANISHING ACTS by Jodi Picoult narrated by Julia Gibson (Delia), Jonathan Davis (Eric), Jim Jenner (Andrew), Robert Ramirez (Fitz) and Sharon Washington (Elise)

Jodi Picoult’s SALEM FALLS narrated by Julia Gibson

PLAIN TRUTH by Jodi Picoult, narrated by Christina Moore and Suzanne Toren
Before I begin reviewing this seventh novel by Jodi Picoult, I would like to say how much I enjoyed the narration of this book. Christina Moore and Suzanne Toren were pitch perfect […]
KEEPING FAITH by Jodi Picoult, narrated by Eliza Foss and Julia Gibson, produced by Recorded Books
Before I review Jodi Picoult’s sixth novel, I want to register a COMPLAINT with RECORDED BOOKS. It simply ISN’T right to cut the tape in such a way that there is NO […]

Like MERCY, Jodi Picoult’s fourth novel, THE PACT, her fifth, is about a vulnerable man who kills the woman he loves at her request. Unlike MERCY, Chris Harte in THE PACT has […]
MERCY by Jodi Picoult narrated by Alyssa Bresnahan

PICTURE PERFECT by Jodi Picoult, narrated by Brian Hutchison & Amanda Cobb
As a professional writer myself, I thoroughly enjoyed the way that Jodi Picoult began this tale. What better way to introduce a character and her situation by having her lose her memory? […]
HARVESTING THE HEART by Jodi Picoult narrated by Cassandra Campell
Author Jodi Picoult writes with such empathy and this novel was well supported by Cassandra Campbell’s superb narration. Here is the tale of a young woman who marries up into a family […]
SONGS OF THE HUMPBACK WHALE by Jodi Picoult
