What Members Thought
This book was a look into the world of the supernatural. Not a scary look where these spirits are out to get you, but rather a world where these spirits have some unfinished business. They are trying to get attention through a variety of unique ways. The story examines characters from the present and their ties to characters and events from the past. As usual, Picoult flows flawlessly between the then and now. Picoult also once again proves that everything is not always as it seems.
Picoult is fun reading, but even in a ghost story she manages to raise issues that will get you thinking. The hot topic in this book is genetic engineering, interwoven with life-after-death, love, and the true nature of family, among other ideas. I enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved how throughout the book I was constantly questioning my own beleifs on fate and finding your soul mate. I also enjoyed learning about Vermont and the Eugenics society that existed only 70 years ago and the extremes they went to for the "betterment of society." I think this is my second favorite book only to The Pact!
