So far this book is really boring me and I never feel like sitting down to read it, so it is taking forever! I hope it gets better!

Oh, how disappointing. I had super high hopes for this book as the concept sounded promising and I like most of Picoult's books. Then it turned out to be a well... Not so good book.In the end I had a great deal of dislike for every character except the murderer. What's up with that!? The other characters were irresponsible, wimpy, unlikeable people with nothing to do apparently other than make each other's lives miserable. Just what I want to read! Not! Oh well. I'll move on to "Plain Truth" next and maybe it will be better!!!

Chilling and spiteful, this novel cuts to the core of life, shakes your senses, and checks your priorities. It explores the boundaries of right and wrong, the testing of hearts, and the place of judgment under desperation. Mercy cuts to the bone and produces a raw sinking feeling of hopelessness and certainty, exploring the dark corners of life to show what happens when you give up everything for someone you love, even them themselves.

A controversial topic euthanasia, but as always Jodi Picoult weaves a beautiful story of love and loss and pain. An emotional rollercoaster ride for all the characters in the book and you are left with a lot of questions. Worth the read.
