Intrigued by the ethical premise but fell short in the unbelievable and predictable delivery. Title should be "Try Again". Legal and emotional thriller of an adoptive mom seeing an age progressed photo of her son on a post card and her efforts to discover if her worst fears are true. Didn't hate it so much as didn't necessarily like it either. Noticed some editing errors which for me is always supremely distracting especially in a less than engaging story. ***Spoiler Alert***As for characters, I...

This was the first Lisa Scottoline novel that I've read and if this one is any sort or testament to her talent for thrill writing, then I'll definitely be purchasing other copies of Lisa's books. I was glued to my seat while read this in one!

This has been one of the most thought provoking, profound, and compelling stories I have read this year. If you are a parent you would feel the same way. I got into this book thanks to World Book Night. It was the book I decided to hand out to my community and I only hope that those people are as affected by this story as I was.It was like looking into 'real' lives as I read the book. I could actually place myself into the shoes of our main character Ellen, and often did, who is a loving, compas...

This is the second book by Lisa Scottoline ive read and just like Lady Killer is a first class read. The story goes of Ellen Gleeson a reporter and mother to young adopted son, Will. One day she is looking through the mail and comes across a have you seen this child card and notices the boy in the picture looks identical to Will. Her instincts tell her that it is just a coincidence and the adoption is completely legal but being a journalist she looks into. What she uncovers is alot more than wha...

Wow I couldn't imagine being in her shoes. I would be angry,confused and scared out of my wits that everything you have will change. Crazy.

This book was an extremely easy, fast-paced read. It's like a newer, more up-to-date version of King Solomon's judgement. Or at least that's what kept replaying in my head the more clues unraveled. Long story short, I found this book to be extremely interesting and worth the day it took me to read it. There's nothing complicated about this book. The plot is fairly simple to follow and the supporting characters are a little thin. It doesn't change the fact that it's interesting and will have ever...

I wrote earlier that I found out I had read this book before but did not realize it in the beginning. There are so many books about missing and lost children. I always enjoy books by Lisa Scottoline and this was no exception, even a second time. It's the story of a mother's search for who her adopted son really is and it has a happy ending, so I did enjoy this a lot.

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...

3 stars. This was a decently average book- quick read and a fairly enticing enough plot that kept me wanting to find out the end. We follow Ellen Gleeson, newspaper reporter and adoptive Mom to three year old Will. The story opens when Ellen looks through the mail one day and sees an advert for the American Center for Missing and Abducted Children with a photo of a young boy that looks uncannily like her son Will. And so begins the story...with Ellen unable to get rid of the idea that maybe ther...

What a mess. This was my first Lisa Scottoline book, and it'll probably also be my last. This book was just... all over the place. I can't think of a single thing that I can say I actually liked about it, besides the fact that it's over. This book was like being hit over the head with... well, all of the things. My brain is now mush. So, here's what I got out of this book. Ellen Gleeson, a REPORTER, sees a age-progressed missing child picture on one of those cards they send you in the mail, and

Collecting the mail as she entered the house from work, Ellen Gleeson was keen to see her three-year-old son Will. Connie, her babysitter was an angel – Ellen thought back to the day she had found her and was extremely grateful. Once Will was in bed, Ellen returned to the mail – the flyer that had the words “Have You Seen This Child?” across the top brought her up short; the photo of the child on the front froze her heart. It was Will – or if it wasn’t, he had a twin out there somewhere…Ellen ha...

Don'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 twiligh...

As a a fan of the thriller genre I was really looking forward to reading this book. I had never read anything by Lisa Scottoline before either so I was also intrigued and excited; I like discovering new authors, and I wasn't disappointed.Look Again pulled me into the story from the first few pages. The plot was fact-paced and each chapter ended with a tiny cliffhanger that kept me guessing. For the first half of the book I couldn't put it down, and I couldn't turn the page fast enough to find ou...

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...

This is the third Scottoline book I've read, having absolutely fallen in love with the first book I read by her, Killer Smile. Killer Smile was wonderful for its sense of place being set in Philadelpia, where I lived for several years. Her character was strong and interesting and the plot complicated enough to be interesting.Unfortunately, Look Again was none of those. I found the plot drawn out and a bit incredulous. Although, the book had an interesting premise -- namely that of a mother of an...

This book had such an intriguing and promising premise, and such a terrible and disappointing execution. Ellen, an adoptive mother, pauses when the photo in a missing child flier looks eerily like her adopted son. Wow, what a great premise. What would one do if one's child belonged to someone else? What's the right thing, what's the moral thing, what's best for that child?Sadly, the author turns this into a poorly written thriller with an all-too-convenient happy ending. Randomly, this line bugg...

I really have enjoyed all of Lisa Scottoline's past books...always buying the next book out. This book...is...ridiculous. I have a hard time believing she actually wrote this. Just the premise is hard to believe. Would a mother who supposedly adores her adopted child risk her job ( shes the breadwinner here) and the possibility of losing her child just because she saw a picture on a missing child flyer that looks like her son. Making every kind of stupid decision a mother could make. I would cal...

Ellen Gleeson has just gotten home and retrieved the mail. She was getting read to put the mail down when something in the pile caught her attention. It was one of those white postcards that says “Have you seen this child?” The similarities between the missing boy and her son, Will is uncanny. It was like Ellen was looking at a picture of Will but Ellen knew that couldn’t be true as her son is an only child. Well that is what the adoption agency told her. A few days later and Ellen still can’t g...

A journalist that has adopted a boy finds a Missing Child card in her mailbox...........the photo is of an age advanced child about the same age as her son, Will. The child in the photo bears a striking resemblance to her son.....she can't let this rest. She goes on a journey to find out who the missing child is. A pretty good read that kept my attention throughout and I agree with the others pretty predictable but there are some surprises as well. The last 3/4's of the book had me in tears....a...

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!
