I was really set on reading this book. The beginning was slow, it definitely was hard to get into.. but once it picked up. It was a great novel. the fact that someones world can be turned upside just because of another persons view of an encounter.

I am a huge fan of jodi picoult. I think I have read almost every book she has ever written. This one was really good. even though I guessed "who did it" in the beginning of the book. Its a thick one, and kept me hooked, but honestly the last two pages kind of disappointed me... I won't tell any secrets but ... yeah. could have been a bit more informative in the end.

I wanted to wait until i read to the book to watch the movie. but that didn't work out. Did not matter. If you like historical works even if they are not all completely accurate, this is the writer for you. She gets you hooked...

i love jodi picoult. I have had a hard time finding an author that i can pick up one of their books and not worry about disappointment. This is another. a great book in picoult style. keeps you not wanting to put it down. show a bond of true love in its most rare form.

I had really high hopes for this book. I love this genre. However, it was really slow and I just couldn't get into it. I read about a 1/3 of it and gave up.

everyone talked this book up. I was unimpressed. he bounces from characters, but really doesn't give enough to get hooked I got about 150 pages into it and just didn't even want to continue.
