I wasn't sure how I was going to enjoy this book as I tend to stay away from anything religious. But I'm glad I persevered! Picoult has a way of making you feel that you are living the story with the characters as opposed to reading about them. Ian's change in mind is nothing short of miraculous but if he didn't change than it would have been a major letdown.

Well, from a moslem point of view this book is quite challenging to finish because there are so many things described here that so different from what my belief (Islam) taught me (except the Big Bang theory).
However it would have been a lie if I said I didn't cry toward the end of the book. I mostly feel sorry for Ian, he's like a lost soul without anything hang on to and when he found Mariah and Faith he's like being slapped in the face, knowing what he believed he trust turned out all wrong.

I finished it yesterday on bed. Jodi Picoult again succeeds. That is the fourth book I have read for her; yet, I gave it 4 starts because of the religious part. I know who God is, and nobody can ever change my beliefs. I was super happy with the last paragraph in the book. It made me smile without noticing! =D
It was quite interesting to read about the Atheist, Jewish, and Cathalic views surrounding the situation in the novel. And the situation is interesting in and of itself.
This is my least favorite of all of Jodi Picoult's books, but with that said, it was still a good book. Worth reading.
