Untidy ending undoes wonderful writing

While my expectations at the conclusion of this story were not that all-loose-ends-must-be-tied...I *did* anticipate a finely written story as this is would....well, deliver. Terrific characters but loads of themes that are either under-developed or meant to be red herrings; Picoult doesn't seem sure what she wants to do with them. Nevertheless, there is genuineness in her intent and devotion to her characters' value in the story. Looking forwar d to reading more of her books.

Vanishing Acts

I could not put this book down. I really enjoy hearing each characters on thoughts and narrations. I was do caught up in the book that I finished it in a couple of days (it is not a short book). I liked the ending but was a little dissapointed in the way the love triangle ended up. Overall a really good book.

Good Plot

This book is about a mother finding out in adulthood that she was kidnapped by her own father. It has dozens of twists and turns and nothing ends as you would imagine it would.

This was my first Jodi Picoult book. I was very intrigued from the very first sentence and could not put the book down until I found out the answers. It was not what I expected, though. I got a bit confused throughout, but all in all, it is worth the read.
All of this author's books seem to be the same way, some better than others, but all of them will keep your attention.
