This book was more about Cameron's affair than mercy killing, which was disappointing. What was even more disappointing was that Cameron was totally unlikable and that I couldn't grasp why he was having an affair in the first place. The notes that prefaced the chapters and the multiple Scottish references were cutesy and boring. You have practically no background information on the characters of Jamie and Maggie. This book basically feels pieced together, with little emphasis on the 'moral controversy' that Picoult usually tackles so well....
