Jodi Picoult

3.91 AVERAGE


I've loved Jodi Picoult's work for some time now. She's willing to traverse that fine line of discussing controversial social and familial issues, where others are not. This book was a great read and gave a lot of insight into some of the workings for families that have an aspergian family member. While not her best work, definitely a novel that will get your mind to thinking like many of her novel's do. I'd recommend this book to anyone.

About a boy with Asperger's who is accused of murder. Plot: 4 stars, writing style: 5 stars. The ending left me wanting more. I love Jodi Picoult's writing style, especially her character development.

Interesting concept and characters as always.

I just didn't like it as well as her other books. It kept me reading but not her best.

OMG, I literally called it

So far I love this book as I do any Jodi Picoult books. Its funny yet on the edge as well.
