Title: Flat characters, heavy melodrama
Review: I put this book down after I was introduced to my SEVENTH first person character in 70 pages. Not to mention at least 3 or 4 chronology jumps.Its as if Piccoult doesn't trust her writing to stand on its own. And rightfully so... If the writing supported the book, I might tolerate it. But her writing is horrible: stilted, and filled with corny metaphors, textbook emotion, its just...insufferable , at least to me.Don't get pulled in by the subject matter.Its a great concept but the execution is abysmal.Lifetime movie indeed.
