    I have a quik question. I was kind of confused because they kept saying Bethel was in Maine and Alaska. Was that a mistake or is there meant to be a Bethel in both places?

    This book shows that after a while, authors seem to write what has worked in the past...I recently read Plain Truth, and now reading this, it is the same theme-"how much will a parent go to protect a child?" I feel Picoult has done this book on auto-pilot. I am glad I didn't see the movie-since the ending apparently changed. I felt the drawings were distracting. She writes very discriptive, however, this does not save this "Jump the Shark" type of book. Two thumbs down!

    I live in the UK and therefore doubt very much that i will get to see the movie anytime soon. I did really enjoy the book though and thought the graphic novel elements added something to it.
    Not my favourite Picoult book but it certainly was worth reading :)

    I watched the LIFETIME movie so I probably won't read it now. The movie was good. I wish I would have read it first but I liked Kelly Preston in the movie.

    I watched the movie. It started out good but then went in all different directions. As usual, the book was better!

    Did anyone watch the movie? What did you think of it? I thought everything was alittle rushed.

    This is the first Jodi Picoult I've read and I enjoyed it very much. The characters were interesting and real and the pace moves along nicely.

    Not my favorite either as I previously read Nineteen Minutes and My Sister's Keeper. The ending was very abrupt but the drawings were a unique addition. If you try to do the puzzle at the end of the book, don't type any spaces when you go to her website to see if you solved it.
