A Pandora's box of revelations, the tape triggers a chorus of voices--those of the men, women, teenagers, and parents involved in the scandal--that details the ways in which lives can be derailed or destroyed in one foolish moment. Writing with a pace and intensity surpassing even her own greatest work, Anita Shreve delivers in TESTIMONY a gripping emotional drama with the impact of a thriller. No one more compellinglyexplores the dark impulses that sway the lives of seeming innocents, the needs and fears that drive ordinary men and women into intolerable dilemmas, and the ways in which our best intentions can lead to our worst transgressions.

A profoundly sad story. Excellently written from the viewpoint of various characters.
A compelling novel that speaks to contemporary moral issues and the way Internet technology affects situations which in the past stayed local. I've read it twice and recommned it highly.
Excellent writing and the subject matter is very relevant. I do wish that the character of the girl involved had been a little more fleshed out. Not a fun read, but a good one.
Although this book has an interesting subject matter and the manner it is written (each chapter is a different person's perspective) is intriquing, the story itself left me feeling sad, almost to the point of wishing I hadn't read it! But the situation is realistic even if it is a sad story. I couldn't put the book down because I was so anxious for what was going to be revealed next! So, since that is a good indicator of a book's worth, I would recommend it. But be prepared for an unhappy ending...
gripping and scarily true
interesting how one's actions can affect many people
