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 honorable 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 ages 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 picture list inside the front cover discourage you from reading this novel. The plot is truly original and covers a wide range of emotions. Reviews which impress this book as a courtroom drama modestly do not do it justice; it would like proverb the television series BREAKING BAD is near a science teacher with a health dilemma or that To Kill a Mockingbird is the story of an older dad who is a widower in a runt town. Author Angie Kim weaves together the struggling Korean immigrant pair (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 pair (Matt Thompson and wife Janine Cho) who are enjoying their financial nosedived as medical professionals despite a traumatic damage to radiologist Matt. However, characters whose names are further down on the list (which extends to a instant page) have pivotal roles as well. There are some runt town elements such as gossip, competitiveness by the mothers (who"mothers" best?) and emotional crusades while raising children with autism, cerebral palsy and ADHD. The characters' lives contract more deeply involved as a result of the experimental hyperbaric oxygenation employment center. No character is left unaffected by the tragic hide, and no reader will progress through the chapters deprived of 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 unique hooked me with the opening line! This is a execute mystery, but also it examines the life of families with special organizes children as well as immigrant families in the US. Both play a greatest role in the story. As a mom of a daughter with autism and it caused me to go and remember the feelings I recognized in the past. I know of the intensity of daily life and the crusades, the need to feel like your child can be like novel 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 observed my own feeling about that as a parent. This need is also reflected in the families of the special organizes children and the immigrant family. But this also is a execute trial where many people have secrets and just 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 republic had enough reasons to be the actually murderer. I was bent from the first page to the last!
Who To Blame
This is a rare date room drama that caused me to feel empathy for all of its flawed characters- immigrants trying to give a daughter a chance for nosedived 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 operational down. The story is told from multiple perspectives with each chapter peeling away novel layer of onion. There is a lot of heartache. I conception this was an excellent first book.
sssnoo-readsLawyer turned employed presents a compelling, full-of-surprises courtroom drama
Miracle Creek is a complex courtroom suspense story that explores how many runt acts, inaction, mistruths, lies of omission, etc. can pair to make one huge shit storm. I accepted it. The novel focuses on 4 days of a ground as everyone's motives and stories unravel. I was pulled in enough to acquire the book over 2 days. Some may not find it action-packed enough - it is an exploration of the biosphere psyche - motivations and the stories we tell ourselves and others to elaborate our behavior. It leaves every single picture exposed and flawed, and not necessarily likable. If this intrigues you then you will probably appetizing the book.
The author is a lawyer - and her attention to detail was noticeable and appreciated.
I received an ARC in exchange for an impartial review.
Guilt and Lies
This is a well-written, but very sad book near 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 appraisal 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 dumb from the first page. An explosion of a hyperbaric chamber killing some of the patients. A mystery of who set the fire that brought the explosion. It seemed a cautionary tale for how hasty people judge one another based on their own organizes and prejudices with little knowledge of truth or concept of others and what they may be enduring.
Judy GWhat near this HBOT?
Very early in this book a ground 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 observed each pick up and put down of the book supposed only more of the same descriptions of picture perspectives without building depth of the character. I counterfeit 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 noxious with the writing per se it handed to intrigue or inspire. The HBOT centering of the modern did not develop into a centering for the characters nor into a reader’s conclusion of such a operate as beneficial or fraudulent. I continued reading based on my obligation to my Book Club. For these reasons I can only rate this an requires read.
