jenne 's review for:

Gold by Chris Cleave
2.0

This was certainly compelling--I couldn't put it down--but I felt kind of gross afterwards. I thought it was cheap and manipulative (they're Olympic Athletes! their Daughter has Cancer!) and when I read in the author's note that he did research that included being in the room with the oncologist when parents were being told their child's diagnosis? Well, I was disgusted, frankly.
