As a longtime Picoult fan, I'd consider this heartbreaking book is one of her best. She has the ability to make you see things from perspectives you'd never thought to consider, but she goes a step further... She finds a way of making you empathize with characters you'd normally consider evil.

I enjoyed a lot of aspects of this book, there was an interesting twist at the end and it definitely kept my attention. It fortunately didn't focus too much on the violence of the day until you get into the actual trial in the latter half of the book. It was more interesting than I was expecting.
