Book Review of Songs of the Humpback Whale

Songs of the Humpback Whale
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 4


It doesn't have the surprising ending the other Picoult's books have ... but it is still a very interesting story. I enjoy the way Picoult tells a story from 5 people's point of view ... and the reader can fit these all together. This one is interesting as 4 people are telling the story from beginning to end (chronologically), whereas the 5th person tells the story backwards (starting with the current day and going back to the beginning). It's not as confusing as it sounds, but holds your attention.
