So someone, Leah I think, loaned me these Picoult books and now I've finished my second one. I typically find time to read late in the evenings after B and Mo have gone to bed -- and sometimes on weekends if I can force myself to slow down. Better than another episode of "Lost" on DVD.
Interesting story line, more people with dark histories, secrets kept from each other and the damage it does. The father had a horrific childhood and grew up to draw popular dark graphic novels. The teen is typical on the surface and typical below the surface -- full of secrets she keeps from her parents. I hated that part, anything that reveals how little parents can know about their kids.
That's a painful topic.
The ending was a little trite and I predicted 'who done it' early. I've enjoyed her books and even got caught up in them -- kind of like Stephen King -- but so far don't think they'll be memorable in any long lasting way.
Good airplane/beach books.
No, maybe a notch up from that but not by much.
