I just finished reading a book today.
As always I love Picoult’s books. They are interesting, dramatic and really pull on your heart strings.
You go inside the mind of five characters – the mother who gives birth to a child who has a rare case of brittle bone disease; a neglected daughter; the father who can’t support his wife’s decision; the best friend who’s being sued for medical malpractice, and a lawyer searching for her birth mother.
I highly recommend this book to anyone, guys and girls alike. In MPH (where i bought it), it was classified under Women’s Fiction… but its not. Its not cheesy or lovey dovey or ditzy in any way as some chick books are. It tackles a problem with feelings and … well I’m horrible at reviewing anything, but this book is truly amazing.
I give this book a 5/5 :D
Here is a quote from the book that just struck me as I read it:
“It’s no surprise to me that –in baking, and in life—the cost of growth is always a small act of violence.”
The way Picoult writes this book is very original as not only is it written in first person through each characters eyes, but it also has little recipes in between chapters and has a way of comparing life to baking, something which I found really cute.
On to my next book: Testimony – Anita Shreve
