I like books where I can be entertained while learning something new. So, "Live to Tell" was just the ticket for this week's read. Gardner tells a good suspense tale while informing her readers about acute care pediatric psych wards and progressive approaches to the care of their young charges. The tension builds as you become familiar with the primary characters and grow to like them. About a 1/4 of the way in, I hated to put the book down for the night.
Warning: if you have small children, you may find this book disturbing as there is violence toward children.
The ending is a bit of a stretch, but the ride is worth the read. I like Gardner's style and will read more of her books.

I have read nearly all of Lisa Gardner's novels and she never disappoints. Her writing is extremely suspenseful and she has the ability to keep you guessing up until the very end of her stories. I think this was a great book and it is certainly worth reading.
