Why read it?

1 author picked Vanishing Acts as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love this book because it asks more questions than it answers.

Picoult’s approach is always about allowing the reader to enter deeply into what her characters are experiencing, and she handles the issue of kidnapping with the same grace and sensitivity she’s used in approaching other difficult and occasionally taboo subjects.

From Jeannette's list on stories involving kidnapping.
