A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult
1.0
Disappointing read I almost gave up on
Half a star really. Having read other Jodi Picoult books, I had hopes for this one of being good. It is well written, like her other ones. However, I didn't like how the story is told backwards, the side notes about the characters (too many in my opinion), and the many clinical references and statistics. In fact, I found myself skimming half the time over the side comments and back stories of the characters, which really didn't add too much to the story in places. And I skimmed because I was bored. I didn't mind the subject manner, though again, so many clinical references at times that it felt like nonfiction. A disappointing a read.
