Ok, I have to go against the grain here. As I did like this book (it's my 4th Piccoult) I felt it was repetitive and somewhat dragged out. The plot just seemed reiterated and recycled. I did find the insight into the Amish life and community to be of interest, but the storyline seemed anti-climactic, even with the twist (maybe because I had it nailed by mid-novel). My first Piccoult was My Sister's Keeper, and none have compared to that one in my opinion...I also feel her style is predicatble after a while.

Fabulous, heart-warming. I was amazed at the character development and how the story pulled me in. I literally got nothing done for two days because I just had to see how it turned out - it was just amazing.
Thanks, Picoult, for another great book!

One of Picoults best - a captivating look at Amish life when it collides with the lives of "The English." Each character is multi-dimensional. Every part of the book carries you along, from Amish services, to court, to life in a big city. After reading a couple so-so books by her, I was very pleased I spent my time reading this one.
