Description Conducive To Books Look Again
When reporter Ellen Gleeson gets a 'Have You Seen This Child?' flyer in the mail, she almost throws it away. But something about it makes her look again, and her heart stops; the child in the photo is identical to her adopted son, Will. Her every instinct tells her to deny the similarity between the boys, because she knows her adoption was lawful. But she's a journalist and won't be able to stop thinking about the photo until she figures out the truth. And she can't shake the question: if Will rightfully belongs to someone else, should she keep him or give him up? She investigates, uncovering clues no one was meant to discover, and when she digs too deep, she risks losing her own life; and that of the son she loves. Lisa Scottoline breaks new ground in Look Again, a thriller that's both heart-stopping and heart-breaking, and sure to have new fans and book clubs buzzing.Rating Appertaining To Books Look Again

I just happened to come across this book at Target and decided to pick it up because the little line on the front "What would you do if the face in a missing child photo was your son?" caught my eye. It was a good book but didn't seem to have much depth. The chapters were short which kept the book moving quickly and always wondering what would happen next. However, it was basically just Ellen doing her own research and not a whole lot of interaction with other characters. I am just guessingDon't you just hate when you have so little respect for a book that it stirs up all kinds of vile, hostile, feelings in you and you develop a passion for trashing the book? And then you have to feel guilty because there's probably some poor starving author who worked her fingers (and brain cells) to the bone, cranking out this drivel, and foisting it on the unsuspecting public? And then, even so, the book somehow gets a 4 star rating, which makes you feel like you are truly living in the
A friend of mine said this book is 'unremarkable.' I can't think of a better assessment. I almost gave it 1 star, because it elicited basically no response from me at all... but I figured since I can't really say I hated it or that it was absolutely horrible, it probably deserves 2 stars.This was a quick read, but not because it was compelling. More-so because I wanted to get it over with and read a book that I actually WANT to read. The plot was way too unbelievable and ridiculous to actually

Damn. This book had so much potential. A mother receives a flyer in the mail with a picture of a missing child who looks just like the child she legally adopted a couple of years ago. What should she do? What would I do? No way should this book have had a happy ending. Arrrrgh. Ellen, the adopted mother, wants to know the truth about her child. She's a journalist. OF COURSE. Turns out the birth mother sold her son for money. OF COURSE. The adopted mother, while frantically trying to find out the
It's been years since I read a Lisa Scottoline book, but so glad I decided to catch up on her backlist. Probably would not recommend this to anyone who's adopted a child. A journalist comes across an age-progressed picture of a missing child...who looks just like her son. A fast-paced twister, this is a great re-introduction to Lisa Scottoline's storytelling. Hopefully it won't take me as long to get to her next novel!
Do not waste your money on Look Again by Lisa Scottoline. This author has written many good books. And this story sounds good. However, the book has a lot of problems, such as characters that need to be put back in the oven to cook further, unrealistic concepts, and an ending that makes you question why you read the book. This is why I give this book one star. This book was another gift I received. That is the only reason why I finished it.
This is a story of truth. What is the truth and how does one handle it when the truth hurts more than one can imagine?Ellen Gleeson is a reporter, a single mother and a seeker of truth. When she sees a card with the photo of a missing child on it, she sees the resemblance to her adopted son. Ellen takes off on a truth-seeking mission to discover who her son really is, hers or someone else's? Then will come the question, what shall I do about it?Tracking clues, Ellen keeps running into roadblocks
