A Non-stop Thrill Ride from Start to Finish

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. I could not put it down. It makes you wonder, could this really happen?

Very well written

Misconception is an excellent book about the controversies of abortion. Even though I personally am pro-life, this book made me feel sympathetic towards some of the pro-choice characters. It made me think and question the governments stand on Roe v. Wade. It's intriging and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. I just couldn't put it down.

Excelent Summer Read

Misconception is the best novel I have read in a long time. From the first introduction to the conclusion, it was a fast paced read that kept me guessing till the end. A wonderful, fun book, but also a book that questions the implications of RU-486 and abortion (or murder?). Fascinating.

i'm exhausted!!

i read this book in one day... neither my husband nor i could put it down!! We had heard Imus and Shapiro discussing it on the radio, and it sounded intriguing. Nothing prepared us for the twists and turns the book would take, right up until the very last paragraph!!! This would be a great discussion group book because it prompts so many legal and moral questions for the reader, without passing judgement.

Couldn't put this one down!

Besides being a fast paced story, the writing style was excellent. Lots of food for thought and good entertainment. Would highly recommend.
