Helpful Score: 2
Having just finished this book moments ago, I feel a flurry inside. I want to discuss it with someone, read it again, sit quietly by myself, all at the same time. This was one of Picoult's most powerful books for me. I can imagine her dreaming up this book...what if Jesus came to the 21st century and was condemned to die all over again...and the story springing from there, vividly and vibrantly with a life all its own. This book begs you to examine yourself, to question your own path, your own spirituality. Shay is certainly a character I'll be thinking about for quite some time. Though I recognize that there are some minor flaws (a flatly drawn relationship between Dr. Gallagher and Maggie, for example) overall the book is a powerful novel that moves my heart and my mind! This one ranks right up with My Sister's Keeper as an all time favorite - not just of Jodi Picoult books, but of all books I've read!
