It is a good, thought-provoking book but a little slow-paced.

Amazing. Wow. This book makes you think deep. What are REALLY your beliefs on Abortion? Especially as a Christian. Every dialogue in the pro-life/pro-choice movement is in this book. Every single one. This book brought tears. It was like an onion. New layers of the plot kept being peeled back. It was such a read. I need something light after something that deep.
