Summary
Literary Criticisms
Picoult
Literary Criticisms
Unfortunately, Picoult has overburdened
an elegant and riveting premise with
irrelevant sentimental subplots. Told from
seven different points of view at least
three too many the book plumbs the
dreary inner life of Kate and Annas
troubled older brother, a budding arsonist
whose complaints cant compete with the
courtroom drama. The novel goes into
even greater detail about the personal
history of Annas attorney and his reunion
with a high school love. Soapy discursions
like this dilute the effect of Picoults sharp
central narrative. -Jennifer Weese
