Handle with Care

Another one of the books I liked, that I read during the summer, was Handle with Careby Jodi Picoult. I have read a lot of Jodi Picoult books so far and I can definitely see a pattern in most of them. I'm not saying that her books are boring, I love her books. But for some reason a lot include the same things.For example, most have to do with relationships strained by one colossal event. There is usually an issue presented with one character that affects the other characters badly. All these conflicts go on inside and in between different characters. Finally at the end, a court case is presented. I think Picoult usually uses court cases because it forces the reader to judge the issues going on in the book. The issues are very controversal and usually has more than two sides. Eventually, the reader could come to the conclusion that different perspcetives are needed to judge a person or group. This book was no different. The reader sees the life of a girl with a disablity and her struggles. We also see the struggles of the different family members affected though. The books goes through moral questions about abortion and parenting children with disablities. The book ends with a case about malpractice. In a nutshell, if the mother, with the disabled child, would have not given birth if she knew of the complications? It caused me to think, and I hope it will do the same for others.
