I was reading My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult until I saw the movie at the Watson's. I only got through the first 4 chapters!!! That was bad on my behalf. I bought the dvd hoping to watch it AFTER i read the book but gave into temptation when my dad and Leo went to the pub and it was just Phillipa and I at home. I loved the movie, I actually cried in it...and I'm not the type of person to blub in movies. Anyway... I went to Ben's for the easter weekend, and he bought me a new book, House Rules by Jodi Picoult!!! Because I was home alone alot of the time that weekend, I spent alot of time reading...and I fell in love with the book, more than My Sisters keeper. It's about a teenage boy with Aspergers... it's a bit intense to read about everything this boy has to go through. Because he has trouble socialising, he became a clear suspect for murder in his home town. I havn't finished it yet... But am definitly planning to.
I think fans of Jodi or the movie (My Sisters Keeper) should take the time to read this book, or even any other of her books...Definitely worth the read.
I'll keep you posted on how it goes =]
Jodi Picoult never disappoints! House Rules was page turning and emotionally charging. Picoult's addressment of contraversial issues is usually very riveting, and this story was particulally interesting. After finishing the novel, I felt I had been educated in the affects of having a child with autism.Also, the ending pleased me-no more about that because I can't ruin the surprise! I was very pleased with this book, and I have already recommended it and loaned it out! I promise that you will want someone else you know to read it because it is such a great book to discuss.
