Positive: Gives indepth description of Asberger's. One of our son's best friends has this condition. A couple of his "quirks" actually made more sense to me after reading. Good plot and story. Negative: Way too much mundane information. Almost gave up on the book several times. It could be edited down to about half the content.

I was absolutely hooked. Racing-heart-captivated.
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.
