Books I read this summer!!

So I am going to keep a running list as well as a synopsus about each book to let everyone know about some great books out there.

Mercy-Jodi Picoult

This is a great book by Jodi. It is one of her older ones but it is great. It is a story about a man who loves a woman so much that he killed her because she was dying of cancer. He brought her to a town where his cousin is the police cheif. He knows that he will be arrested when he tells him but hopes that his cousin can help. The story unfolds about the murder as well as the struggle that the cousin has. This book makes you think about love and the means in which love can be used.

***** five stars!!

Changing Heart-Jodi Picoult

This is another wonderful book. This is her newest book. It is a story about a prison inamte who murders a little girl and her father and ends up in jail. While in jail he hears about the sister of the girl he killed who needs a heart transplant. He wants to give her his heart but because he will be killed by lethal injection there is no way his heart can be transplanted. While it jail he tries to get the courts to find another way to kill him so he can give her his heart. While in jail he starts to cause some fishy things to happen like turn wine into water and heal a baby bird that died. These things make people like maybe he is the messiah. You will have to read to find out what happens in the end.
