House Rules by Jodi Picoult
I stayed up last night until 11pm finishing this book. I'm a big Jodi Picoult fan. If you haven't ever read a book by her, you should! She always picks very interesting subjects and shows different sides of the story. In House Rules it's about a boy named Jacob who has Asperger's Syndrome. He is very interested in forensic science. Then he's accused of murder. I know two people who have Asperger's and found it very interesting to read this book. It made me understand how they might feel and process thoughts. The only thing that sometimes bothers me about her books is she doesn't always wrap the book up. I sometimes still have questions. Unfortunately I feel this way about this book. Don't get me wrong, it was really good. I love Jacob's character... felt like giving him a hug sometimes. Check it out and let me know if you felt the same about the ending. Other books by her I've enjoyed.... Salem Falls (read before Nineteen Minutes), The Pact and Picture Pefect. Happy Reading!!!
