House Rules by: Jodi Picoult

house rules was another excellent nail-biter by jodi picoult; written in her usual, judiciary-type fashion, this novel posed much food for thought, but the main two messages that stuck most pungently to me are these:
1. how is 'insanity' defined
2. what exactly does a high functioning form of autism entail; and yes, the MAIN focus of this story is one of the main character's, jacob's, struggle with his form of autism, aspergers.
i enjoyed the flow of this novel; the transition from the mindset of character to character was practically seamless, save for the awkward chapters in the mindset of rich, the police officer, whom i very much disliked..
anyway, this was a good book which left a little to be desired in the ending, and sort of a weak murder mystery/plot line which i had figured out by page 200.. but still an excellent read, as usual, by jodi picoult.
happy reading :)
