Jodi Picoult does it again...writes another can't-wait-to-get-to-the-next-page novel. House Rules educated me about Asperger's Syndrome and truly changed my perspective about the effects of this disease on all those involved in caring for such special needs persons.Picoult tells the story in first-person through the various main characters in her novel....Jacob, his mother, his brother, his lawyer, the police detective investigating the murder of which Jacob has been accused.
As I read, I felt the frustrations of all these characters as they deal with a legal system not designed to care for special circumstances. Anger. Disappointment. Sadness.
Then, the twist at the end. DO NOT READ THE END OF THIS NOVEL FIRST. Just in case you are tempted. Resist!
