I got this book through Goodreads giveaways.
The writing style wasn't for me. There were a lot of information dumps, too much telling and too little showing.
The characters weren't formed so that I felt with them. The stepson being black to me felt forced like Turow was trying to get his affirmative action points. It all just had a 'I'm not racist. I have black friends' vibe.
I held on until chapter three when it became political. It wasn't that it became political, what doesn't these days? It was the vicious way the other side is portrayed, like there can't be concerns that are overblown. All concern has to be bad spirited.
I gave up on the book then.
