Helpful Score: 2
Jodi Picoult books are seldom breezy reads. They take tough issues/themes and beat a rough-edged story out. The endings are not always fair or happy, but I think that's part of her gift of trying to create "reality" in her stories.
I love her style of writing the story in first person, especially with different characters taking turns as storyteller. A single event can take on so many dimensions when the story is told by multiple eyewitnesses. I thought it was a good book, but got VERY slow at times in the middle and could've used some shortening.
