Second Glance
by Jodi Picoult
First, I said this:
I'm currently on Jodi Picoult's Second Glance, and I'm enjoying it but I admit at first there were just so many characters and I was getting confused between them all. The central chapters from Cecilia's point of view were a welcome relief. But they also made me realise I should probably start reading the book all over again, to better understand all the interweaving storylines. I'm on page 301 of 420, so getting there. Slowly. But surely.
Now I say:
I finally finished this book today. MAN that took me a while! I've been slack, I admit it. Not to say I didn't enjoy the book thoroughly. I loved how they all got tied in together in the end. One of my favourite twists was the connection between Ross and Meredith, learned near the very end of the novel. There were a fair few 'twists' throughout this novel, though. It certainly took its windy path and I often didn't know what was coming next. All in all, this was a fascinating read even though it touched on aspects of history that are very shameful indeed (eugenics, anyone?). It was a novel full of tragedy but also hope, and happiness for some at least.
