House Rules by Jodi Picoult introduces a character, Jacob, who is diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, and because of his disability he is unable to understand human emotions. However, he has a huge interest in forensic science and crime scenes, and when his behavioral psychologist, Jess, is murdered, he is the prime suspect. Was he really the murderer or was it just a misunderstanding?
This book kept me reading. Even though there were multiple storylines they all tied together in the end. The main character’s emotions really made me feel so sorry for him. Only two things I didn’t like: the fact that the main storyline tended to get lost around all the other story lines, and the ending was very abrupt and didn’t quite follow on for long enough to make me understand what was really happening.
This book has mature themes and some difficult concepts. I would rate it 8 out fo 10.
