Rating: Unrated
Jodi Picoult’s ‘recipe’ for writing books is to pick a current controversial topic and then looking at it from various angles. The topic for “House Rules” is Aspergers. The main character in the book is Jacob. A boy with aspergers and an obsessive interest in forensic science. Jacob is arrested for murder after he comes across a murder scene and then re-arranges it.
Since my son Jon also has aspergers though at a lesser degree than Jacob, it was a challenging book to read as it hit a little close to home in some of the asperger behaviours.
