The only "miss" on a list of winners by this author., 2003-10-27Jodi Picoult is one of my all-time favorite authors, but she misses the mark on this book: her "heroine" isn't heroic. She's a bitchy, over-worked, non-maternal misguided woman, who does what she does for the wrong reasons. I don't like her, I don't like her actions and the only part of the book I can sympathize with is the indictment of the way our criminal justice system prosecutes pedophiles. Skip this one, but buy every single other one that Ms. Picoult has to offer, including the latest, Second Glance. They're all wonderful, thought provoking and filled with truly three-dimensional, likeable, human (warts and all) characters.
