I thought this book was ok, not outstanding but not terrible either. It had an interesting plot line that coasts you through. I rate this book an A-.
This sounds like somewhat of an interesting book. It sounds kind of slow moving!
ReplyDeleteI see how this book could be slow, but I think I would like it. Especially to know if she allowed her daughter to take the cruel heart that killed her sister.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds good! I give shay credit for being a heart donor, he is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds really interesting. I love to read as you know! I will have to borrow this from sometime.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like a good book to read! I usually don't read a lot of book but i'm sure I'll give this one a try.
ReplyDeleteI don't really enjoy readying but this does sound interesting. But it would be hard being a heart donor so that was nice of Shay.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good read. I think the position that the mother was put in would be a very difficult position. To take the heart or not to take the heart. But this book sounds like it would be a good book to read to find out the answer. Shay in the end sounds like a good guy for doing this. But still very difficult for the mother.
ReplyDelete447 pages is way to long. Why would he decide to be a heart donor?
ReplyDeleteMaybe because he has a heart and wants to save someone! This sounds like a good book too bad I don't really like to read or I would totally read it!!
ReplyDeleteYour description of this book has kind of caught my attention. It sounds like it might be pretty good!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what I would be do if I was in the mother's position. Also, slow paced books can sometimes be the best if you can stick through them.
ReplyDeleteI've read this book. It is kind of slow in spots, but like all of Jody Picoult's books, there is a twist at the end that makes the wait worthwhile.
