I liked this book but it just wasn't my favorite. It sort of steered away from Jodi's typical writing style which I wasn't a fan of. She does show the point of view of a few different characters however it changes from paragraph to paragraph rather than each chapter being by a different character. I prefer the chapters being different.
The story had a great twist though, something I didn't even know was possible. It was really neat to learn about. ...more

So by now I'm sure it's clear that I'm a Picoult fan-I don't think I've ever not liked one of her books. This one was great too-it's the story of a woman whose son is sexually abused and her search for justice/revenge.

Pretty good book even with the tough subject matter. I had bits and pieces that I found predictable, but there were some things that I didn't see coming. Jodi Picoult is a great writer and I get invested in the characters.

This one is super sad. Very surprising ending... This books shows how far a parent will go for their child.
Talk about a book with twist. I really wasn't expecting some of the twist. GREAT book!

Another book of hers that really makes you feel what the characters go thru.
