This was my first Jodi Picoult book and it has been the best one that I have read. It was a very quick read with an interesting subject matter. At times, it was tough to get through with some of the family troubles but I thought that it was a realistic look at the issues. I was told to look out for the "Law and Order twist" at the end of her books but I wasn't expecting this one. All around great book.

Excellent right up to the end, but the end was disappointing. Picoult has great character development & researches her topics very carefully. However, the ending (which I won't spoil by relating it) resulted in the whole legal case - the core of the plot - being a moot point.

So depressing I didn't go much past disk 1 of the audiobook. I also didn't "buy" the voice of the teenage daughter (maybe it had something to do with the narrator, but still ...)

This was a very good book, but I did have to keep a box of tissues handy throughout.
Kinda sad... not the best book in the world, but it will make you think!!!
i was too angry to read the last few pages.
