This kept me captivated, wanting to read more and figure out what happened and who really “did it”. Unfortunately that was the best I can say for this book. No one was exceptionally likeable, no one listened when it mattered and no one seemed to care when they said they did. A little quality police work could have ended this book in two chapters. I wanted to like it...I just couldn’t. ( )

I don't know how to separate my personal experiences from my feelings about this book. Some of it struck me as an accurate description of family life with Asperger's Syndrome, some did not. There were slight inaccuracies related to the diagnosis of AS versus classic autism that surprised me, given Picoult's reputation for solid research. I also didn't feel there was a satisfying resolution to the story. Too much was left up in the air, and the ending provided the reader with no revelation that he or she couldn't have deduced about halfway through the story.

Not an easy read but worth persevering. ( )

I thought this was very good. i had it as an audible and was very pleased with that aspect also. I do enjoy her books a lot ( )

And another one of hers that hooked me from the start. On this one I kind of saw the end coming and so it was a little uneventful at the end compared to some others for me. However, I really was fascinated by the inside look into a family with a child that has Asperger's. ( )
