Vanishing Acts (Jodi Picoult)

I didn't particularly enjoy this story of a woman who works to find missing children discovering that she was kipnapped as a child herself. But was it a real kidnapping? Should the kidnapper be prosecuted? Do we really care?

Not really. This is a very heavy-handed, over the top, novel, and not recommended. 2 out of 5.

I was not a fan of this one either. I think she was overreaching. There was just too much going on and most of it wasn't necessary. Have you read anything else of hers? I know people seem to love 'My Sister's Keeper' and 'The Tenth Circle' is doing really well.

Piksea - I enjoyed 'My Sister's Keeper', although I hated the ending, and also liked 'Salem Falls'. I haven't read anything about the 'Tenth Circle', I'll have to check it out :-)
