Change of Heart

I have always loved Jodi Picoult's novels. I heard her speak in Salisbury, NC two years ago and was very, very impressed with her as a person, her engaging personality and the through research on every book she writes. That said, I really struggled to like Change of Heart - the premise is fascinating; however, the supernatural and religious elements were both difficult to follow and tedious. I also thought there were unfinished plot threads such as the stepfather's pedophilia. Is it me? Does every other Picoult fan love this book?

I finished change of heart a few weeks ago. I thought was pretty good. Definitely not one of her best but I still enjoyed it. I found the premise interesting and religious aspect got me thinking. I just didn't ever feel as connected to the characters as I did in some of the others. Also, it kept reminding me of The Green Mile by Stephen King. However, I liked it enough to pass it on to two others so far.
