Mercy

The most recent Jodi Picoult novel I picked up was “Mercy.” The plot mixed the moral implications of euthanasia with love and adultery.

I had several issues with this novel. I felt the characters were not realistic and very poorly depicted. I thought the topic of euthanasia could have been handled in a much better way. Mixing in the adultery was in poor taste, taking away from the better plot line.

My opinion--overall judgement--Good topic, bad execution.
