I received the wrong book
Published by Nancy Haegele , 4 months ago
I ordered Small Great Things by Jody Picoult for my book club and received a children’s book my First Book of Prayers All Things Great and Small.
Ignorant blather
Published by Nabakov , 8 months ago
Do not bother with this trash. The author is using typical conservative stereotypes and falsehoods. She also is ignorant of Christian ideology. It is definitely a leftist propaganda trope. If I could give it a zero, I would.
Loved loved loved!

Very gripping and thought provoking. The author has really studied how a colored person would feel and the kind of situations they would go through. Talks about racism in an open thoughtful and honest way. Couldn’t put it down.
One of my favorites

I experienced so many emotions reading this book. I hope if they make it a movie they stay true to the book.
3/5
Published by Rosalia , 1 year ago
I don’t really read fiction so maybe that’s why Small Great Things is kinda corny to me - especially the ending, which seems unrealistic, and some of the dialogue. Some scenes feel unnecessary however it is an interesting read ! You can tell the author really did her research on medicine and laws in court. I found it very entertaining until the last couple chapters.
good book!!

picoult has a way of telling us a story without a set, defined ending. Life happens and goes on and we do too, or it leaves us behind.
Makes you think!!!
Published by Kate Vits , 3 years ago
I have not read a Jodi Picoult book before but I am now a fan!! This book makes you think about how things can become twisted. I am in the medical field too so I could relate to a lot!! I cried with sadness & joy while reading this.

So important.

This is seriously the most important novel I have ever read. I highly encourage anyone with an “All Lives Matter” mindset to read this book.
Very thought provoking!
Published by Treva J , 4 years ago
This book was just the best and loved the ending!!! It certainly made you stop and think about our world today and all of the discriminations that exist!!! She was totally innocent but became a victim of today's society!
Intriguing

I work in the social justice field and very much enjoyed it. Highlighted the disparities that exist in the US.
Small, Great Things
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 5 years ago
Jodi Picoult is now one of my favorite authors. She has so well-researched her material, you can picture yourself in the situations. Everything blends well and the end is very surprising! I highly recommend this book!
Eye opening story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 5 years ago
I loved this book from beginning to end.
Tough subject told greatly by Jodi
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 5 years ago
This book is so relevant to the time in our country. It isnt a story just about race. It's a story about coming to terms with the blindness in the lives of so many. It's a page turning read told in a way only Jodi could tell it.
The story told as only Jodi Picoult can tell. Stunning, jaw dropping twists that I never saw coming!

Story is drilled down in a reality that you think people have finally accepted, but the truth, as a Registered Nurse would know, you've taken an oath and there are to be many times you question your moral and ethical dilemmas. But this one was a huge stunner. A must read...And if you know or are a healthcare provider, ask... what would they have done?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 7 years ago
Eye opening, and pure honesty! I wouldn't expect anything less from her books! This was not disappointing at all!
