This book was a recommendation by the pastor of my church. For Lent he will be leading a discussion about this story. Just reading the first chapter, I thought, this story could take weeks to discuss. There is a great deal of ethics and morality to think about here. As usual, Jodi did her research for this story. She is a fabulous writer. I love her style of begining each chapter with the name of the character and reading from each character's point of view. If the reader can place him or herself in the frame of each character, it's easy to see how the events are not simply black and white. If you don't read another book this year, you owe it to yourself to read this one. And don't stop with the reading, share your thoughts and feelings about the topics with a friend.
Jodi Picoult does an amazing job developing her characters and story lines. Love her and always look forward to her next tome!!

Have never been disappointed in a Picoult book! Purchased used as I have a ginourmous number of books. I find so many facts are on target as I am in medicine. Though the characters are fiction, many people face these life situations. I love learning and each topic has been researched and the "human touch" keeps you reading. I am a die hard fan! Thanks to each person who
I bought this book based on the description. I have never read anything by this author. So after reading 10 chapters, I put this book down and have yet to pick it back up. It reminds me too much of the green mile. (One of the other prisoners even calls the main character that one time in the book) I just cannot get into it, and I do not know if I will even finish it which I never do!
Great read by a great author -she has a way of making you see both sides of every issue forcing you to acknowledge that people are not usually all evil or all good. I would recommend this book.
I haven't read this book yet, but I have read 5 other books she has written. I really enjoy the books by this author!
