House Rules by Jodi Picoult
4.0
Jodi Picoult's impressive ability to get inside her characters' heads is astounding.
House Rules focus on lives of Jacob and Emma Hunt after Jacob is charged with murder of her social-skills Tutor Jess Oligevy. JP have her way with the small emotional detail that puts reader expertly in the place in a predicament- should we believe the evidence or do we give Jacob the benefit of doubt because of his Asperger's syndrome? Read it and decide it for yourself.
Every 5 pages I had to gather my thoughts and get back to book because it was impossible not get immersed in this intricate and fascinating drama.
Why only 4 out of 5 stars? As the trial begins: the relationship between Emma Hunt and Lawyer or sudden disappearence of Theo and appearance of Henry one fine day were quite redundant for the story and were more likely to distract from the complexity of topic.
