Full of twists and turns
This book was full of twists and turns, and it was a good and entertaining read. It is not a book that I would call a 'quick read' because of a lot of details in the plot, but it had a very nice ending. Definitely worth reading...it had a lot of substance and touched your heart. Recommended!
Slow read
I bought this expecting a really good book. It starts out really good and kept my interest, but the middle of the book was slow. By the time I got to the end I was losing interest. The story line was decent. All in all I thought it was an ok book.

A complex and uplifting story
I loved the book and I am so delighted it was made into a movie. The premise of a father spiriting away a newborn unbeknowst to his wife, is powerful. The reverberations of his actions throughout their lives was extremely well-handled. But the thing that stood out in this book more than anything for me was the treatment of the question - Is Down Syndrome something to be unhappy about? Without giving anything away, I want to say that I loved the answer to this question. The author is extremely gifted and I applaud her handling of an extremely complex and uplifting story.
