Jodi Picoult has written some pretty dang good stuff.  NINETEEN MINUTES and MY SISTER'S KEEPER are pretty good.  A few of her other books might also be good.  I haven't looked really extensively into most of them.  I have noticed a few different publications have pointed out glaring flaws in various books.  A customer on Amazon once noted the cheap pulp - ie LAW & ORDER 8hr DNA testing bs - quality of SALEM FALLS, which some people defend 'because it's 

just

 fiction '.  

just as my CD collection "are just things", and should look like the contents of a dumpster because they're not something more....

And taken from Wikipedia, SMALL GREAT THINGS; A writer for the New York Times thought the white supremacist character was well-written, though found that the protagonist and African American character [Ruth] to be the least believable: 

"The more we see of Ruth and her family, the more their characterization feels like black-people bingo — as if Picoult is working through a checklist of issues in an attempt to say everything about race in one book." Gay found it a "flawed novel" but felt "generous" toward the book and gave her "a lot of credit for trying, and for supporting her attempt with rigorous research, good intentions and an awareness of her fallibility"

I can't say I feel as generous toward an author who has gotten crazy rich writing horseshoot.  There are plenty of books out there that are entertaining, well researched and don't suffer from an author overextending (s)he's grasp.  Granted, you have to look for them.  The more an author writes, the more oxidized their work is likely to be.  The same thing started happening with Stephen King as far back as the early 80s when he started churning out BS like Firestarter and Cujo.  And it got even worse the more prolific he got.
