Today I finished reading the book "White Oleander" by Janet Fitch. I liked it...it was sad. Especially the last conversation Astrid had with her mother at the prison. When she asked her mother a question, then panicked because she didn't really want to know the answer to that question. "The rock that never should be turned over". And the certainty the reader feels as to what the answer to that question will be. And the surprise when her mother actually shows some sense of being human and caring with the answer she actually gives.
Yes, it was sad, and it just proves how a decision that one person makes can affect so many others. The pebble that is dropped into the still pool, and the ripples that reach further and further out from the center, affecting all it touches. I'd give the book an 8.
