House Rules

This story by Jodi Picoult is about an 18-year-old high school senior with high-functioning Asperger's.  Jacob is a crime scene junkie who, himself, is accused of murder.  First time I've read Ms. Picoult and I enjoyed the read.  While it was tough to read about autism and what the families go through, I learned a lot about the syndrome.  I give this a 3 out of 5.

  1. I've been meaning to read this novel by Jodi Picoult. There is another good novel about an autistic teen called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon. It's also a murder mystery. Very well written.
