I was definitely not convinced that I would love this book, but I did nonetheless. I was in my 8th month of pregnancy with my ample child and the themes of parent/child relationships and of mothers never feeling like their best was good enough were horrifying and addictive. I'd love to re-read this 10-20 days down the road and see if I feel the same amount of fear and trepidation in reading it again.
Riveting, Shocking, Disturbing - This book has it all.
Don't let the lengthy represent list inside the front cover discourage you from reading this novel. The plot is truly modern and covers a wide range of emotions. Reviews which sign this book as a courtroom drama frankly do not do it justice; it would like revealing the television series BREAKING BAD is in a science teacher with a health spot or that To Kill a Mockingbird is the story of an older dad who is a widower in a itsy-bitsy town. Author Angie Kim weaves together the struggling Korean immigrant combine (the Yoo family) whose teenage daughter Mary is not totally thrilled with her new country. Still, Mary's lack of friends at school and privacy at home, particularly at her age, make her sympathetic.There is also a mixed-race combine (Matt Thompson and wife Janine Cho) who are enjoying their financial collapsed as medical professionals despite a traumatic cost to radiologist Matt. However, characters whose names are further down on the list (which extends to a uphold page) have pivotal roles as well. There are some dinky town elements such as gossip, competitiveness beside the mothers (who"mothers" best?) and emotional fights while raising children with autism, cerebral palsy and ADHD. The characters' lives obtain more deeply involved as a result of the experimental hyperbaric oxygenation consume center. No character is left unaffected by the tragic tend, and no reader will progress through the chapters minus experiencing changing loyalties toward the characters. This is a book that lends itself to intense book club discussions.
LinZThis book stirred memories
Angie Kim's unusual hooked me with the opening line! This is a assassinate mystery, but also it examines the life of families with special possesses children as well as immigrant families in the US. Both play a very role in the story. As a mom of a daughter with autism and it manufactured me to go and remember the feelings I distinguished in the past. I know of the intensity of daily life and the fights, the need to feel like your child can be like latest kids--especially if you can find the "right" treatment. I know that parents will do most anything to help their child and this book helped me to gazed my own feeling about that as a parent. This need is also reflected in the families of the special possesses children and the immigrant family. But this also is a assassinate trial where many people have secrets and objective truths they have revealed. I liked that it was told from multiple perspectives, which increased the clues of how the tragedy occurred and how they suspected one another. So many farmland had enough reasons to be the actually murderer. I was twisted from the first page to the last!
Who To Blame
This is a rare woo room drama that caused me to feel empathy for all of its flawed characters- immigrants trying to give a daughter a chance for disappointed in America, teen rebellion, the cultural strictures for Korean women, the mothers seeking experimental treatments for their disabled children, the guilt & hope they feel, even the protestors trying to shut the functioning down. The story is told from multiple perspectives with each chapter peeling away latest layer of onion. There is a lot of heartache. I understanding this was an excellent first book.
sssnoo-readsLawyer turned authorized presents a compelling, full-of-surprises courtroom drama
Miracle Creek is a complex courtroom suspense story that explores how many dinky acts, inaction, mistruths, lies of omission, etc. can couple to make one huge shit storm. I favorite it. The novel focuses on 4 days of a territory as everyone's motives and stories unravel. I was pulled in enough to steal the book over 2 days. Some may not find it action-packed enough - it is an exploration of the domain psyche - motivations and the stories we tell ourselves and others to define our behavior. It leaves every single relate exposed and flawed, and not necessarily likable. If this intrigues you then you will probably palatable the book.
The author is a lawyer - and her attention to detail was noticeable and appreciated.
I received an ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.
Guilt and Lies
This is a well-written, but very sad book approximately the aftermath of an explosion with deaths at a hyperbaric clinic. All of the characters are suffering and dissembling in some form and the reader feels their pain and sympathizes.
While this book deserves more reconsideration than I am giving it, I would not recommend reading it during a shelter-in-place quarantine (as I did) because it is a bit suffocating.
Truth and consequences
The book grabbed my insensible from the first page. An explosion of a hyperbaric chamber killing some of the patients. A mystery of who set the fire that transported the explosion. It seemed a cautionary tale for how rapidly people judge one another based on their own possesses and prejudices with little knowledge of truth or notion of others and what they may be enduring.
Judy GWhat approximately this HBOT?
Very early in this book a territory begins regarding an explosion in an HBOT pure oxygen chamber. Throughout the rest of the book the chapters were woven together leading to the revelation of an unknowing murderer. For me there was no avid page turning. It gazed each pick up and put down of the book spoke only more of the same descriptions of relate perspectives without building depth of the character. I unfounded no attachment to any of the characters in this book with the exception of Elizabeth who existed to mirror a family member in my life. While there was nothing horrible with the writing per se it yielded to intrigue or inspire. The HBOT centering of the unusual did not develop into a centering for the characters nor into a reader’s conclusion of such a consume as beneficial or fraudulent. I continued reading based on my obligation to my Book Club. For these reasons I can only rate this an averages read.
