Re: Has anyone here read Small, Great Things by Jodi Piccoult?

I stopped reading her books years ago. Evidently she follows the James Patterson method of having other people write sections of her books for her.

No, and if it is disturbing, I'd just as soon not read it.

Yes I have and I agree with @feline groovy , @maxmillion  and @hgsuddle's assessment. It is enlightening if you read it with an open mind.

To me, it simply reinforces stereotypes.  It sounds like it was written by someone who has not had close interactions with people of different races, nor has ever had close friends who are of another race or even associated with them very much. 

 

People are people no matter what color we are.  Some we like, some we don't.
