Since November 2009Cover Wars: House Rules by Jodi Picoult
October 5th, 2010 by Leah
The paperback of Jodi Picoult’s latest book House Rules is out in November and has had a cover change from the original. I like the new cover (right) a lot but the hardback cover portrays the story more with the multi-coloured blanket!
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 looking 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?

wow, this is a tough one. I love both covers. However I think I am going to have to go with cover 2. I like the keys a lot.
I prefer the hardback cover! That’s only cause I got it sitting on my book shelf lol
I love cover two, that would make me pick the book up based on the book cover alone.
