The title of the book did not appeal to me, but I had to read it for my group book report. After I read it I just couldn't put the book down. I especially like the ending. I will look for more book written by Chris Bohjalian.

For the first fifty pages, I did not like the book and had just about decided not to finish it, but then I went on and found I couldn't put it down. I especially liked the ending.

I've been studying this book for a grade 13 independent study, and after three months with it by my side, it has yet to become a burden. I enjoy picking it up every time.

I think that 'Midwives' is the best book that I ever read. I am a college student, and even though I had other assignments to do, I couldn't put the book down. I was so convinced that Sybil was innocent, even when Connie took some pages out of the notebook. When I read the last page though I about cried, because I knew then that Sybil had killed Charlotte. This might exactly be a review, but I just wanted to say how wonderful Bohjalian was, that he had me doubting myself, to where now, I sometimes don't know.
