"I wanted to read a Jodi Picoult book, because of all of the hype about My Sister's Keeper. Since I am not generally a fan of sad books though, I thought that I would try her book, Second Glance, instead. This book was a ghost, mystery, love story. It was very multi-layered and to be honest, I probably need to read it again to catch everything I missed, but it did keep my attention. During the book, it dealt with some heavy issues, such as depression,suicide and death, but overall it was a good read."

“In Second Glance, love does travel through time. You don't have to believe in ghosts to acknowledge the path it takes as it works its way from parents, to grandparents, to great grandparents, ancestors passing on genes and the protection of their love.”
— Washington Post“A spellbinding suspense novel offering insight into the human spirit and the depths of true love.”
— Publishers Weekly“Bestselling author Picoult mixes shocking fact and compelling fiction to produce a mesmerizing tale of love and second chances.”
— Booklist“Second Glance is an intricate and suspenseful ghost story that enchants and illuminates all the way to its powerful conclusion.”
— Amazon, editorial review“A balance of suspense and science makes for a memorable ghost tale.”
— Kirkus Reviews" The first novel I've read by her & I was completely engulfed by it from start to finish! Couldn't put it down "
— Beth, 2/15/2014" One of the best books I have read by this author. As usual some parts where weird but still loved it! "
— +, 2/8/2014" What an eyeopener into American white supremacy in the 1920s and 30s. I find some of her books irritating but this one held my interest right to the end. In saying that, it hadn't grabbed me by the first 50 pages, and I nearly put it down, but decided to give it a few more pages. I'm glad I did. "
— Naomi, 2/1/2014" I am now hooked on this author and must consume Picoult's other novels. This was such an engaging, fast-paced, well developed, and fun story. The various points of views made it refreshing and it was a interesting to learn about ghosts, Native American traits, and eugenics. Even her sex scenes were done tastefully, and felt realistic versus just being there for the sake of it. "
— The, 1/23/2014" This is the second Picoult book I have put down. (haha and it's called second glance...nevermind). There were too many characters to follow. I had to keep looking back at previous chapters to see who was who. If you could sit all day and just read it straight through it would be easy haha Bummer. "
— Heather, 1/21/2014" This is the kind of book that I could easily put down - when I had more than 15 minutes to read, i did enjoy it, but it was a struggle when i didn't have much time to devote to it. Great book if you're stuck in an airport, or on a plane... "
— Joanne, 1/18/2014" This is my favorite Jodi Picoult so far. I loved it until the very last minute when it just went a smidge too far, even for a ghost story. But I really loved the rest of the story! "
— Sarah, 1/15/2014" Not too bad. After reading nearly all her books, there's definitely a formula but I still enjoyed this book. "
— Sasha, 1/14/2014" I really enjoyed this book. It was off the wall, but that's what I like. It is a ghost story, but not scary, with a past history that is compelling. It is also a mystery. The characters are believable, warm and real. One can feel a deep empathy with them. Great book. "
— Patti, 1/13/2014" My least favorite of her books. I didn't even finish it. "
