Book Review: House Rules by Jodi Picoult
Posted on Wednesday, May 19th, 2010 by LeahJacob Hunt is good at many things, he is able to remember a film word for word after the first watch, he’s able to memorize a book after one simple glance and he’s probably the most organised teenager in the world.
However Jacob is unable to look anybody in the eye and the colour orange sends him into tantrums rarely seen outside of young children which are all hallmarks of Jacob’s condition; Jacob Hunt has Aspergers. When Jacob’s social studies teacher Jess is found dead, all of the signs point to Jacob and the fact his Aspergers means he can’t look anybody in the eye and the police begin to believe Jacob had something to do with it.
Jacob’s mother, Emma, then has to ask herself: is her son capable of murder?
