ryceejo 's review for:
House Rules
by Jodi Picoult
Usually Picoult leaves the reader surprised, but I had "solved" the mystery within the first 100 pages (it was SO obvious) so it drove me nuts. The entire court hearing was frustrating because they didn't even consider what was the truth had happened, they just placed blame because Jacob had Asperger's. I was hoping the "truth" would have been revealed in a more exciting way, like an outburst in court or something dramatic, not during deliberation, on page 526 of the book.
But I liked what I learned about child psychopathology in this book; namely, a day in the life of a family with a child who has Asperger's. I usually like Picoult's books for their controversy and the reader's inability to take a position or figure out what should happen until the last chapter. But this one was too easy.
