Helpful Score: 1
Excellent book, one of her best; it was thought-provoking and suspenseful.
Another gripping read from Picoult. She raises difficult questions about the gray areas in morality, the American legal system, and personal relationships. The courtroom scenes reminded me strongly of "Plain Truth," but that isn't necessarily a bad thing... just disappointing to see a talented author recycle her own material.
I thought that this was a great read that I had a hard time putting down. The plot twists in ways that I didn't expect, all the way to the end of the book, and the characters were definitely the kind that you could relate to and understand. My only complaints is that it does get a little annoying that this author has so many stories with mothers being portrayed as a bit crazed and selfish and that in a time of crisis her marriage becomes at risk with someone moving out of the home. Other than that, I'm totally addicted to this author's stories and this one was no exception.
