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.

I felt the ending wrapped up too quickly. I also felt something was missing throughout. Other than those two things, it was a good read.
Let me say that I am giving Picoult four stars because this has been HER best book to date. I have never been a huge Picoult fan but read this and really loved it. It deals with the very current and close-to-home issue of Aspergers and adds some mystery to it that kept me interested. It was a page-turner and for a Picoult, I was pleasantly surprised!
I enjoyed how each chapter was written from a different characters perspective. The more intimate view of someone with Asperger Syndrome was nice also.
The end of the book was a bit of a let down.
