This was my least favorite Picoult novel. I've read several and enjoyed them but this one was difficult to get through. The ending was unimaginative as well. I may give up on this author.
One of the worst books I've ever read. I had only read one of hers before, My Sister's Keeper, and I loved it, so I decided to try another one of hers. Didn't even seem to me that the same author could have written such different books. Not good at all, I left it aside half way through. I never do that!
This was a really good book. However, if the reader does not know Dante's work (Who does other than English majors?) alot of the symbolism used throughout the novel will be lost on them.
This was my first foray into the world of Jodi Piccoult. People joke that depressing things make me happy, but this book feeds into that perfectly. Amazing book, amazing author. Just amazing.
Strange that this has a well developed and engaging plot, complex characters, and vivid descriptions, yet doesn't ring true. She uses the same poetically wise and philosophical voice (internally and in the dialogue) for all the characters, from the 14 yr old depressed girl to the shallow 16 year old boy-rapist to the middle aged parents. Falls short.
