I was absolutely hooked. Racing-heart-captivated.
And then that ending
And then that ending

Very much her formula: various narrators, a big trial, a supposed twist ending. The characters are to extreme to be sympathetic.

Read a little slow, imo. It's a classic mis/noncommunication trope, which isn't my favorite, but I love Jodi Picoult.

I really enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. The detailed description of autism, the dynamics between the characters, the mystery. I loved it all. It's quite a long book, but I couldn't wait to pick it back up again. It kept you guessing right until the end.

If you want to know in depth what it means to have Aspergers Syndrome and how it affects people who are close to “Aspies”, this is the book for you. Picoult is an expert in research, no matter the subject, and she doesn’t disappoint here. It’s not difficult to figure out who will be killed and how so if you’re looking for a mystery, it isn’t here. The ending leaves a lot to be desired; it’s one of those endings that leaves it up to you to imagine what happens. But I couldn’t put this one down, the anticipation of waiting for the characters to figure things out was brutal.
