A review by mrsbrewcrew
Second Glance by Jodi Picoult
5.0
Ghosts & eugenics... what once was & what might have been.
I was intrigued by this book. All the themes, characters, story lines...Picoult wove them all together seamlessly. I'm having trouble wanting to start a new book, like not wanting to eat sommething after I've brushed my teeth. I want to keep savoring this fresh taste on my palate.
Some quotes:
"Heroes were ordinary people who knew that even in their own lives were impossibly knotted, they could untangle someone else's. And maybe that one act could lead someone to rescue you right back" (374).
"Once you make a sacrifice for someone, you own part of their soul."
From the author interview regardinng genetic diagnostics:
"The problem isn't science, in my opinion, it's who decides what's 'normal' or 'optimal' or 'valuable.'"
