As a mother of an autistic child, I usually avoid fiction that focuses on it. It's either too frustrating or too emotional for me. However, I am a Jodi Picoult fan so I went ahead. I think that she handled the topic of autism well. I related to the mother, and I think that her descriptions of autistic behavior were well done and not stereotyped. The storyline kept me reading even if it was somewhat predictable. What I do not understand is why she decided to end it the way that she did. I'm not going to give spoilers, but I will be surprised if I find any reviews that praise the conclusion of this one.

I was surprised to see you read this one based on the story line, but kind of not surprised because I know you read all of her books. It sounds really good. Her endings usually go for the shock value I think,
Sharon-I think a shocking ending would have been better than what she did. Are you going to read it? You'll have to let me know your thoughts if you do.
I just finished reading it and to be honest, I really don't understand the ending. What did she mean with the last line? I agree, I was waiting for that surprise ending and was pretty disappointed when there wasn't any. I felt like there wasn't any ending at all.
