What Members Thought
I think that perhaps the only way to think Jodi Picoult's first novel was very good would be to have read it when it was the only novel of hers available. Having read many of her other books first, I am SO GLAD she developed as a writer. This book is written in the voices of five different people. The last third of the book was almost painfully boring since you already knew what was going to happen through the recollections of the other characters. Not so good.

Everyone has their first book and this one was definitely hers. Not the worst of her books (Second Glance was) but not great. Ridiculous situations and it was hard to tell what was going on since there were flashbacks and foward looks scattered throughout.
