The language chosen by the writer is quite understandable. It's not really confusing. I really enjoy it.

Anna is a brave girl...the story is getting intense

there are some medical and scientific vocabularies. i hate when i had to stop reading to find the meaning

again and again...the unconfirmed vocabularies are quite disturbing...
anyway, Kate must be the strongest girl ever

Why must the writer put Campbell's love story in this book?

Jodi brought me to Campbell's love story ...and it's NOT INTERESTING at all. I still don't understand why Jodi brings the readers to Campbell's love story. Well, let's see what will happen in the next chapter.

It's so sad. Poor Anna! Her heart must be hurt by her own feeling. I just couldn't hold back my tears during the heartbreaking moment when she has a talk with her sister about death. Why is it so sad T_T

It's a relief to know that Brian is on Anna's side for most of the time. I think it's also funny when Brian often stays at the firehouse to avoid the drama at home ^^

Yeaay finally there's someone who cares for Jesse :-D Julia is actually a kindhearted woman though my impression for her was not so good. After reading more than hundred pages, i could finally get a picture in mind about who Jesse really is. He is like an invisible kid in the family though he's the first child. He gets the least attention in the Fitzgerald family. I feel so bad about him for some reasons. He's a boy, indeed, but hey he's only a teenager who still needs attention from Brian and Sara.

Well, how ridicoulous it is when a married couple is fighting because they are questioning each other on which side they are going to be :(

Jesse burns the buildings in town :-D No comment about that :-D If I were Jesse, I would have been the most miserable person on Earth :-D

Anna is indeed a good girl, but her mother just gets her wrong. I could not even imagine living in that kind of family..

Indeed, blood is thicker than water. No matter how far you go, you belong to your family. I like the way the writer put Zane as "the saviour" in the family in the peak of the Fitzgerald's conflict. Even though, Sara and Zane have been apart for long time, Zane is finally home :)

The dayof the trial has finally come. The relationship between Anna-Sara-Brian-Campbell is getting intense. I learn a lot from Brian's character. His serenity in facing his wife and his daughter is unquestionable ^_^

I don't know why Jodi Picoult put the dirty love of Campbell and Julia in the middle of the intense conflict during the day of the trial -_- Anyway, Anna congratulation on your winning over your mother. Your difficulties and sorrows are paid off :)

What a sad tragic ending T.T
WHY?? The ending is really unpredictable. It is so regretful for knowing the ending. May you rest in peace Anna..
