 tantalizing July 21, 2008
This book was a treasure to read.. It was full of twists and turns. Jody Picoult writes with such compassion for people who are victims of a judgemental society. She forces you to re-evaluate your own misconceptions of human errors.
 Less than a summer read July 21, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I was looking forward to reading my first Jodi Picoult book and I have to say that I was hugely disappointed reading this one. It was for our bookclub and everyone in the group (12 of us) felt the same way. I'm squeamish about reading another book by her again. It read like a soap opera to both myself and my bookclub. It was if it was written for a T.V. drama or mini series on the Lifetime channel.
Fast-paced July 18, 2008
To borrow a cliche, I could not put this book down. I have not yet read The Pact, nor My Sister's Keeper, but I thought this one was outstanding. As I read other reviews calling it predictable, I'd have to agree and disagree. Parts of it? Maybe; however, the story and the writing are so good, it really keeps you hooked.
Haunting, yes. June 7, 2008
This is one of Piccoult's best books. My only complaint was it was a little long, in my opinion. One thing's for certain about the author: you think you have an opinion on certain things in life and she challenges them!!
Suspenseful May 23, 2008
Very interesting read and keeps you in suspense. Shows both sides of the picture in a rape case. Shows what can happen when someone is wrongfully accused and also shows the effects of a real rape on the victim.
