This book was a decent read. It kept my attention and was pretty interesting. I feel that it was, what I call, an “equator”book meaning there wasn’t a lot of action or surprises; it was a consistent book. I’m glad that I read it because it gave me something to do but I don’t think I would read it again. I did enjoy the characters, particularly Delia, because the reader really sees into her life and can feel her confusion. I particularly liked Andrew because his life was a constant battle to protect his daughter. I would recommend this to Jodi PicCoult lovers.

Ik vond dit boek een beetje tegenvallen. Jodi Picoult zou goede boeken schrijven, maar dan ben ik denk ik aan het verkeerde boek begonnen. Ik ben de draad meerdere keren kwijtgeraakt en ik vond alle indianenverhalen vermoeiend. Het idee van het verhaal is goed, maar de uitwerking had veel beter gekund, het was ook weinig verrassend.

This story had me torn into taking the sides of the main characters up until the end, when I realized that sometimes you have to risk your life to defend the ones you love...especially when those "ones" are children that cannot defend themselves. Even if it means going to jail later, you still have to do what needs to be done.

As a transition book, it met all expectations as it was a quick read that tapped into some interesting issues. However, I found most characters pretty cliched and annoying- See: the accused kidnapper is a magician (good at knowing how to make things disappear), the coincidence that all of the main characters either were alcoholics or were the children of alcoholics or some other delinquent parents, not to mention the ridiculous message that sometimes it's okay to commit adultery. So even though "My Sister's Keeper" wasn't too horrible, this time I am certain that I am not a fan.

I love a Jodi Picoult book. It is obvious that she does so much research for her books and she always tackles the controversial topics. I really enjoyed this one about a father who kidnapped his daughter and changed their identities which doesn’t catch up with him until 28 years later when shocking revelations come to light.

This is pretty classic Picoult. Pretty far-fetched but a fast read. Wouldn't go running to tell people to read it. If you want to breeze through a book and be entertained without much thought than go for it. But it's not ground breaking
