I've read two other books by Jodi Picoult's and loved them both. Her way of dealing with timely issues is nothing but awe inspiring to another author who wishes to do the same. Her characters are believable and the plots unfold in a way that leaves one wondering and wanting more at every turn of the page. How many found A Spark of Light to be another of JP's wonderful reads?

I skipped large sections of the book because I needed it to end. (less)

Didn't like this style at all. When we first meet the characters, and learn who's been injured, who's dead, etc., we don't care about them yet. It isn't until later chapters that we get to know them and by then, I already knew their fate. So now it's just sad. I would have much preferred a straight through, linear telling.(less)

I'm about 40 pages into the book and am not drawn to the story at all. Is it worth sticking with it?
Jayna For me, it got worse the farther I went. I don't regret reading it, but it wasn't very suspenseful.
