I just finished the book (I was a bit apprehensive, thinking it would take me awhile, and I ended up reading it in two days. Two works days no less!). I was incredibly impressed with the writing and style. I had never read anything from Picoult before, but I am certainly a fan.
I was very impressed with how the legal system was portrayed. I thought the voir dire portion was very well done and accurate, really everything, down to how the judge and attorneys interacted (and how the attorney felt about the judge!) was accurate to my experiences as an attorney.
Beyond the legal aspect - I thought the book was incredibly topical especially given today's political climate - no matter which side of politics you're on. I'm very glad this was our book, because I'm not sure i would have read it otherwise.
I'm excited to hear other peoples thoughts (hopefully??)
