Its the first time I've read a book by Ms. Picoult.<br />The presentation of the story from several of the character's perspective is nothing short of literary genius. It affords you the reader a fuller, broader, more well rounded story because it's all in the first person. The second thing that stands out for me was the amount of research that went into this story. Kudos to Ms. Picoult for a job exceptionally done. It added to the vibrant fabric of this well crafted story in such a natural way that it only enhanced the experience of reading it. And of course there was the story itself. I could talk about the story, the characters, the revelations. But honestly all I can think of is love. The love of a father for his daughter. The bond that such a love can create. It's about when your life is put on trial and under the microscope, what realizations, enlightenments do you come away with.Portugalhttp://biteatongue.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934873530287535675.post-67908584062584645302012-03-08T13:34:45.980+01:002012-03-08T13:34:45.980+01:00Thankyou for calling by and commenting, I hope to ...Thankyou for calling by and commenting, I hope to see you here again, now off to visit your blog.LindyLouMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282788551449445133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934873530287535675.post-36809847242581889942012-03-08T06:02:28.000+01:002012-03-08T06:02:28.000+01:00Hello Lindy,

We don't need to like every book we read, that doesn't mean to say that there is anything wrong with the writing, it is just a matter of personal taste.<br /><br />I hope that your current book is more suited to your mood and that you are having a good week so far.Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934873530287535675.post-56473540765172609382012-02-27T15:57:59.659+01:002012-02-27T15:57:59.659+01:00Can you believe this was the first Jodi Picoult bo...Can you believe this was the first Jodi Picoult book that I read? ... which might be why I don't read her much:(BookQuoterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033467542826463255noreply@blogger.com
