Disappointed

Next to Elizabeth Berg, I'm so into Jodi Picoult's novels. I wait every March for her latest and drop everything to read it. "House Rules" didn't jump right out at me. It took till page 96 to get me hooked and then I carried it everywhere to snatch those precious reading moments. On the last page I was left lacking. The novel is about a boy with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism. He's obsessed with forensic science and that obsession leads to him ending up on trial for a murder. I won't go into more detail since it's still a good book, just not the ending that I would have preferred.
