Narrative In Favor Of 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.

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 maybeAs 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
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.
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 guessing
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
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
I picked this up in the bookstore and didn't want to buy it. I don't like to read books about kids that are a sad story because it hurts too much as a mother to read them. However, I kept coming back to this book, re-reading the cover, telling myself: I can handle it. So I bought it! I DID like this book a lot. I DID get attached to the characters. I only gave it three stars because I thought the story was kind of all over the place. I thought the author could have simplified the same plot -
