Would you go through hell to save you child? Daniel Stone would, even if it means having to go back to the one place he doesn't want to. This book was excellent for the first 200 pages, but fell flat by the end. It was right around page 200 that I figured out the ending and it all started to feel too trite. This is the problem with Picoult books - they are all surface writing, is what I call it, I don't feel like she delves deep into the characters, the character development is so weak.
Yet, there are more obscure things that never get tied together - for instance, Seth - we never find out how he told Laura what he needed to tell her. AND the big one... Joseph - it's never revealed who he really is and what that means. (Trying not to spoil this one!)
This book really needed a little less metaphors and more pages to flesh it out. There were just too many things left open-ended...
