review 1: The book is about domestic abuse and the relocation (undisclosed to the father) of a family after a judge rules in the mother's favor. The second trial is a metaphor for the trial of life after relocation. I'm torn between liking this book and not liking it. I liked it for the intuitiveness of how Danny was feeling being separated from his father and starting a new life without his consent. I didn't like the dragging on of the story. It felt so drawn out, that I was beginning to lose patience and I found myself skimming through some of the paragraphs.
review 2: The plot is very interesting, which is the reason that I first picked up this book. However, The author had a poor writing style for this book, There are a lot of places where it was more thought o... moref from a lawyers perspective, instead of a child's. Another problem i had with this book was it's constant jumps in emotions, one minute the child will feel one emotion, then it is yanked away into a totally different thought and feeling. I think the basis is good, but the author needs improvement. I would not recommend this book to others. less
