From Publishers Weekly

One plot element¢a case of child molestation involving a Catholic priest¢in Picoult's latest novel (after Salem Falls) now seems eerily prescient, but that's only part of the saga she weaves, which is primarily an indictment of the current criminal justice system. Nina Frost, an assistant district attorney in Maine, knows how hard it is to obtain a conviction for a sex crime when the victim is a juvenile, so when her five-year-old son, Nathaniel, identifies their priest as being the man who raped him, Nina's grievances with the system become personal. Frustrated by the threat of an unsatisfactory legal outcome, she takes the law into her own hands, killing the priest in open court. Awaiting her own trial, a startling fact emerges from the DNA: the priest was innocent. Will Nina be able to prove to a jury that her actions were justified, particularly since she killed the wrong man? Picoult adeptly renders Nina's feelings¢impotence, guilt, the drive for retribution¢but Nina is herself an unsympathetic heroine, from her initial accusation of her husband to her arrogant vigilante stance, which does little to persuade the reader that an act of premeditation should be recast as maternal instinct. While the argument that the current system is flawed is solid, the only alternative offered is an iffy form of frontier justice that many readers may find unpalatable.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Another A+ for Jodi Picoult, Jui 29 2007
This review is from: Perfect Match: A Novel (Paperback)
Excellent book...sad but so true to life. It is hard to amagine these kinds of things happening in real everyday life, but the reality is that is does happen. It is easy to see how people can take law into their own hands & how Jodi Picoult can magically put you into that persons shoes with her amazing writing ability. The legal system stinks for the most part. And when something this aweful happens to your child....is easy to see how a mother can go off the deep end. Another 5 stars for this author. I highly recommend this book. Other great Jodi Picoult is The Pact, My Sister's Keeper, & Salem Falls.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Well researched, Déc 30 2006
Par Mundoo (Hindmarsh Island, Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Perfect Match: A Novel (Paperback)
As usual the author has meticulously researched her topic. I had a few moments of disquiet with the topic and some of the court-room scenes but I found this book one I couldn't put down. I learnt something about DNA that I didn't know and did suspect why the second Father died. I found that a big coincidence and wondered why. I 'guessed' wrong though. I suppose I was hoping for a good ending and I wasn't disappointed.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Unrealistic, Avril 2 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Perfect Match: A Novel (Paperback)
This book was great till the DNA sample came back which changed the entire book from something exciting to a story that was boring and obvious. Nina deserved a lot more punishment then what she recieved, special treatment and luck was what she got in return for killing an innocent man! The characters were unrealistic and superficial and the theme had unreal consequences.
