House Rules

2.5 stars for this for this novel about a young man with Asperger's Syndrome. I learned a lot about Aspergers (and about forensic science) which was quite enlightening but the story itself was predictable and a little disappointing and at times even frustrating (just ask him - he doesn't tell lies!). Having said that, the characters and the situation kept me reading for the whole 600 pages so there must be something in it. I would recommend this for someone who knows little about Aspergers and wants to learn rather than as a story in its own right, but good on Jodi Piccoult for putting the information out there in such a palatable format.
