Jodi Picoult wraps another stirring melodramatic plot around a misunderstood modern affliction in this tale of Jacob Hunt, an 18-year-old murder suspect who has Asperger`s Syndrome. Jacob`s mother Emma and his little brother Theo have gradually become reluctant satellites of Jacob and his condition, forced to make unwanted adjustments to their own lives in order to better suit his needs. Jacob is obsessed with forensic science, and has the odd habit of appearing at crime scenes and bombarding the investigators with unwanted advice. At the sight of one particularly heinous crime, Jacob`s criminal insights prove to be a bit too precise, and he is soon charged with murder. The situation is compounded when Jacob`s lack of emotion, his social awkwardness, and his involuntary tics are read as the callous reactions of a psychopath. Emma`s only hope of saving her son lies in the hands of a young attorney who must not only combat the prosecution`s convincing evidence, but also his own client`s tendencies to make himself appear guilty.

I have not finished the book yet but am reading it now. As is usual with Jodi Picoult books I find it to be very good. I have read each & every book she has written & have enjoyed each on greatly. I will recommed her book to everyone. She is a tremendous writer. I purchase almost every book I read (except the ones I trade with other people) from Overstock because I am in my 70's now & going into a bookstore overwhelms me. I love Overstock.

Amazing book!
This story really gets into the heads of family members of children with autism. It is a great book and I'd recommend it to anyone that likes a good mystery.

jodi is back!! Great book
I have been disapointed in this author as of late, her books seemed to be missing a certain something. This is the first book from Jodi picoult I have enjoyed in quite some time, She s at her best in this story of an autistic son and his troubles with the law. The book is full of family drama and enough facts about autism to teach us something but still be enjoyable. My only frustation is that - and with all of her books- she plays with the ending and leaves it sort of uncomplete- or gives the readers a suprise twist. I recomend this book.
