I picked this one up at home one night when I was bored and got sucked into it despite my misgivings!
Overall it's not a terrible book but for a story that tackles issues like stem cell research, genetic cherry picking of children, leukemia, the right to choose life over death, and medical emancipation of children from parents it was all a bit too weak for me. There were just too many issues in one book. And as a result none of the issues were adequately tackled.
As a story it flowed well and is not badly written but even though I only finished it about 2 weeks ago I'm finding it now difficult to recall what I thought of it. This I feel is generally a bad sign. But if you're into human issue child centered stories, then you're bound to enjoy it.
