I've read all of Jodi Picoult's books and this has been my least favorite one. Although I always enjoy her books, all of the in depth talk of elephants was a little too much for me. I gave it 3 stars because it was an ok book. I did keep reading it because I wanted to see how everything came together, and I was completely surprised. Her books always have that twist! However, I don't think it's good enough for a 'must read' book choice.
