          <body><![CDATA[Usually you can count on Jodi Picoult to deliver a quick, engrossing read, but this book seemed a bit formulaic to me.  All of Picoult's novels tend to follow a similar formula, of course -- a gripping, &quot;ripped from the headlines&quot; issue, usually involving a court case of some kind, told th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76703760">more...</a>]]></body>
