Reseñas de la Crítica

"This powerful and affecting novel demonstrates that there are as many truths to a story as there are people to tell it." ( Publishers Weekly)

disappointing compared to her other earlier books

I started the book several times before sticking to it and listening through the end. slow start...slow middle...nothing exciting at the end. my least favorite Jodi novel.

Loved the book...

I am a huge Jodi Picoult fan, and I enjoyed the book when I read it several years ago.
I did not enjoy it as much when listening to the audio book. This was entirely due to the narrators. Sadly disappointed.

award for finishing

This was a struggle to finish. I love JP but this wasn't her best.

That once in a lifetime

Good story that touches on some taboo issues. Sometimes you can’t follow your heart. Sometimes great love is incompatible with everyday life. Excellent story kept me listening straight through.

Disappointing

NOT one of Jodi Picoult’s best books. Weak story. I couldn’t stand the main character, Jane. In fact, many of the characters were dumb. And the narrator for Rebecca was so annoying!
