Number of Reviews: 42 Average Rating: Write a Review Couldn't put it down A reviewer, teacher, 10/21/2007 I had this book finished in practically one sitting. What a great way to spend a Sunday. The characters are complex, and I alternated between feeling sorry for Jack, suspecting him, and getting angry for how careless he was being around teenage girls(being a middle school teacher myself, I know how carefully one has to act around children). Since I've read 4 of her other books now, I know her style, so I was able to guess some of the mysteries, but not all of them, and that's why I couldn't put the book down. I also predicted some things that never ended up happening. I love how Picoult takes a seemingly 'black and white' topic and blurs the lines. The thing about Picoult is that not only are her story lines fantastic and better than any mystery writer, she also writes beautifully about romance, parent-child relationships, etc. Her figurative language, her little saying...hmm...so thought-provoking. I'll read anything she writes, even if I don't like the plot, just because she is a word smith and a master of the language.
