a pair of deranged parents decide the best way to cope with their child's leukemia is to have another child who can act as donor to the sick one.
review:
This book was terrible, the writing was ok at best and all of the characters were well conceived but poorly executed. The plot just pissed me off, time and time again I was scoffing/yelling in my head at the book because it was so stupid and annoying. I recommend you watch the movie instead, at least the actors brought some life to the characters. the writing came across as "hey look I can use big, grown up words" which added nothing, and at times actually took a lot away from the story. Picoult plays on your emotions like Liberace plays the piano but in this case it is just loud, jarring and irritating. I recommend this only if you are trapped in a cabin and bored to death. I read it when it first came out and was on the best sellers list for ever, I had to see what the fuss was about (due to this it will forever be synonymous with Fifty Shades of Grey in the "what was the fuss all about" way)
3/10
