Oh, Jodi Piccoult, you do write interesting books about controversial topics. I would have liked this one better, but I was never surprised at how things happened or how things ended. I figured out who was innocent and who evil pretty early on, and that kind of made this boring.

Not my favorite Jodi Picoult book, but still one that I had a hard time putting down. I had a hard time getting through the extensive religious information, but realize it was an important piece of the story. I was also a little disappointed with how the book ended. I also agree with my friend Tammy who thought June's character wasn't developed enough. I would have liked to hear more from her. Still a good read and definately a good book club choice that will incite excellent discussion!

I loved this book. I was fascinated by the agonistic gospel and redemption themes. And it was fun to see characters from Keeping Faith.
