Great story. As a parent, hard to read at times because you feel for him and his son. Waiting to read "Tweaked" the companion book

Only an okay book. The plot tried to keep you guessing and I suppose the ending was a bit of a surprise but it was just kind of corny. I suppose if you like mysteries though, it is worth a try.

I had a hard time getting through this one. By the end of the book I was just skimming so I could finish it.


If I Am Missing or Dead: A Sister's Story of Love, Murder, and Liberation
Review Date: 11/27/2007
Helpful Score: 3


I originally thought this book was about the missing sister...the blurbs make it sound that way. In the end, though, it is a book about the author more than the sister. It is a good book though.

I'm not sure why this got such bad reviews from so many people. I really enjoyed it and thought the characters and story were well written - just my two cents. :)

Although his other books were interesting, I found this one a little boring. I gave up on it about half way through and that is rare for me.

Liked "Riding The bus With My Sister" but gave up on this one halfway through. I didn't want to know what happened to the characters enough to keep going.

I am a fan of Jodi Picoult but I wouldn't say this is one of her better books.
