A review by katiegilley
Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult

4.0

This was the story of a man accused by teenage girls of rape. As a reader, one knows that the man is innocent, but the evidence is definitely stacked against him. This book was definitely thought provoking - how many times has an unfortunate series of events caused a person to be wrongly accused? And how many times have *I* jumped to conclusions before hearing a person's entire story? It bring to mind to the Duke scandal from a couple of years ago and even calls into question some of my feminist beliefs (example: why would a woman claim she was raped and go through all of the struggles that ensue?).returnreturnAt times, I had to put the book down for a few hours because it was just so uncomfortable; I thought Picoult did a wonderful job of making the reader feel the hurt and anger of the situation.
