I always say I'm not going to read any more Picoult, and then I get sucked into another one. I just took a really long time to read my last book, so I need a quick read and thought a Jodi Picoult book would be the perfect thing for me. Usually I get sucked into them and finish in a few days. I briefly looked at the shelf at the library and found one about a boy with Aspergers.
House Rules is about an 18 yr old boy named Jacob who has Aspergers and is obsessed with crime scenes. He is accused of murder when his social tutor goes missing and is found dead. It was interesting to see how Jacob acted when questioned about the murder. Some of the behaviors he showed we very perfect for an Aspergers child/adult. I really liked Jacob and was interested in most of the characters in the book.
What I didn't like about the book, was that it was too predictable. Usually there is some moral dilemna or shocking twist in the end, but this one just seemed to drag on. It seemed like we knew exactly what happened towards the begininning. There wasn't a huge shock at the end and I didn't feel torn on which side to be on in the book. I also didn't like how we really didn't see what the jury decided at the end. So as far as Picoult books goes, this wasn't my favorite.
