I liked this book, but I think mostly because it addresses a potential real-life situation. It is thought-provoking and makes one think "What would I do if in that situation"? Jodi Picoult does a good job of reflecting each person's perspective and it kept my attention throughout.

I liked this book, but wouldn't rave about it. It's certainly interesting how these women remained friends through 40+ years, but I think a lot had to do with the small town they grew up in. I also think that if they'd all lived closer together and saw each other all the time, that the success of the friendship may not have been there for the entire group. Ultimately I'd recommend it because it has a "feel-good" quality and each person could gain something different from it based on what they're personally going through when they read it.

This book was okay for me. It was a little slow and somewhat unconvincing; the thought of someone going somewhere to learn about it & the people to write a book and then end up falling into place as part of the group seems a bit far-fetched. That said, some of the characters had depth to them and were truly interesting. If you've not read a book before written as letters (as I had not) it could be a little difficult to get into. I chose to ignore who the letters were to and from and that helped me.

I really liked this book - once I got past the first 100 or so pages. If you stick with it, it definitely pays off and has you unable to put it down. You want to find out what happens next, and I actually kind-of like that when you've finished there is one character you're not sure you ever really got to know - maybe it's to encourage you to read the second one. :-)

I really enjoyed the book and couldn't put it down. I was compelled to keep reading as I wanted to find out what happened next. The book certainly provokes one to consider what you would do. I found myself scared, angry, sad, joyful - just the gammet of emotions. The dicussion at our book club meeting was great, with a lot of different perspectives and "what ifs" considered to determine what we'd do. It was a great read and I recommend it.

I only made it to page 70 and that was very painful. I'm sure this book has an audience, but I'm certainly not part of it. Sorry - I wanted so bad to like it, but just couldn't do it.

I liked it. I enjoyed how it delves quite a bit more into the life of Lizbeth and explains more of why she is the way she is. It also showed more of her "softer side" in her interactions with her previous gaurdian.

I enjoyed it. I felt all emotions during the story: happy, sad, angry, frustrated, love, hurt, disappointment, etc.

I loved this book! It immediately grabbed my attention and I couldn't put it down. It was exciting and interesting (even though fictional) to imagine a loving pets perspective of its owner's life. It's poignant, and thought-provoking and in the end a very "feel-good" kind of story.

It's sad to think this story is true and even sadder to know it's one of thousands and certainly not the worst it could be (shamefully). I did enjoy the book though and found it inspiring and heartfelt. So many people never even try to overcome the obstacles in life that they face, nor do they find themselves capable of accepting others for who they are and loving them anyway.

This obok was a quick read. The story is a heart-breaking one, but reflects real-life possibilities and lessons we all should stand up and take stock in. It's told with humor and love and humility, yet displays perserverence, resolve and acceptance. A little close to home for me having a familty member with a TBI (tramatic brain injury), but insightful as to what can go on in the mind fo someone with a TBI that they don't always let on.

I love this series, and can never wait for the next installament to come out. As with all the others, the women come through together and solve it all. My only critique was that it seemed a bit short, but again, I love James Patterson writing style and this was no exception.

This book was great! The characters were very well described and I easily could imagine each of their individual feelings and perspective. It's not all roses, but the story line is very beleiveable and because of that, is heartrenching at times and joyous at others. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed this book; it was hard to put down. Although the main character Amy was obviously insane, she was also cunning, and strategic, and dedicated in her maniacal behaviour. Her husband, Nick, on the other hand was ridiculously disengaged and oblivious to his wife's true character, as well as his own part in their undoing.
