Wow. I'm a little happy to know that I "solved it" before the cops did. Absolutely riveting - I could have read it in one sitting if I had the time.
The ending of House Rules was more predictable to me than Picoult's other books, but her intricate main character won me over. It seems she created a fictional teenager with Asperger's with relative ease - amazing!
It has been a few years since I have read a book by Picoult. I went through a period of reading four or five in a row. By the last one I was bored with her writing style--each chapter in its own voice.
After a nice long break it was refreshing to come back to her voice. This book is quite lovely. The story is compelling (as always) and the various point-of-views are incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

When my friend Sandra gave me this book she said, "Fasten your seat-belt". She was RIGHT!! Great story, only out it down each night because it landed on my face once I'd dozed off while reading in bed.
The amount of research that Picoult puts into her books always amazes me, and this time is no exception.
I really appreciated getting a glimpse into someone withh Asperger's and those who care for/love him. I really thought it was well-rounded and not one-sided. The writing made me feel so many things for so many of the characters.
While there was no big twist ending, as many of Picoult's books have, I actually really appreciated it here, as I was hoping for a good resolution to those I cared about most. However, there are still a few good points that can be debated and looked at from multiple angles at the end.

Solid story. Irritating at times and repetitive... but overall interesting.
I liked the story and it kept you wanting to read on, but I was aggravated by the ending. Also, there was a part of the story that really made up the whole problem the characters were going through, that just didn't add up. This kind of bothered me the whole way through and seems as though Picoult threw that in there just to keep you listening to find out what happened, even if the method of withholding the information didn't seem realisitic. I know this is a very vague review, but I don't want to give too much away.
Probably my favorite Jodi Picoult so far!
As always Jodi Picoult roped me in until the end so I could find out the big surprise. I was disappointed. Though I did really enjoy learning more about Aspergers and from the different perspectives.
