Another Picoult Masterpiece

As promised, here's a quick review of Change of Heart, Jodi Picoult's latest novel in 100 words or less:

Diving head first into controversial issues of prisoner rights, a new Messiah, organ donation and the death penalty, Jodi Picoult's latest novel does not disappoint. Her signature elements are in place—a touchy subject, landmark court case, multiple points of view and a boatload of conflicted characters. Change of Heart makes you wonder if miracles do happen as the story of Shay Bourne, a man on death row for a double murder conviction who wants to donate his heart to the dying sister of one of his victims, unfolds. The points of view switch suddenly, but it only adds to the drama and intensity of the story. A definitely must-read, especially for loyal Picoult fans.

Fine, that was 115 words. Whatever. *****
