If you do not know by now, let me tell you this. Jodi Picoult is one of my favourite authors alongside with John Grisham, Tami Hoag, Robert Ludlum, Dan Brown, Steve Berry, Gregory Philippa and many more.
When I like an author, I would keep following his/her works and I can proudly tell you that I have all Jodi Picoult's books and there was once I even wrote to her telling how I love her book entitled My Sister's Keeper and The Pact which are the first two books I read and instantly, I'm hooked to her stories. Picoult is very good and unique in the way she tells a story and the twist of plot will make you glued to the book.
Last night, I read House Rules until two this morning which results in lack of sleep and I was nearly late for work. Hahaha!!! In the last chapter, I had tears in my eyes because of one particular line which I'm not going to reveal because you wouldn't get the feeling without reading the whole book. That particular line is just so powerful and overwhelming to the whole story.
If you have never read Jodi Picoult before, I would recommend you to start with The Pact and then My Sister's Keeper followed by Perfect Match.
From the back cover of House Rules...
Jacob Hunt is a teenager: brilliant at maths, wicked sense of humour, extraordinarily organised, hopeless at reading social cues. And Jacob has Asperger's.
He is locked in his own world -- aware of the world outside, and wanting to make a connection. Jacob tries to be like everyone else, but doesn't know how.
When his tutor is found dead, all the hallmark behaviours of Jacob's syndrome -- not looking someone in the eye, odd movements, inappropriate actions -- start to seem a lot like guilt to the police. And Jacob's mother must ask herself the hardest question in the world: is her child capable of murder?
Your son is accused of murder.
You fear he might be guilty.
What would you do?
