"...SALEM FALLS is a carefully crafted and researched story....The strongest writing in the book comes in the sections that show Jack and Addie falling in love. Here Picoult uses fresh, precise detail to evoke the sparks between these two innocents....SALEM FALLS seesaws between a deftly delineated romance and a precise trial procedural, where the uniqueness of characters must be sacrificed to the formula. It leaves the reader slightly hungry for more of one or the other." - National Academy of Sciences, India (Washington Post Book World, 4/8/01)
"Picoult has ably researched everything from Wiccan religion to genetics to carry off her fascinating legal plot. But it's the psychological profiles and character development that set this novel apart." - (Orlando Sentinel, 7/22/01)
