I like this book as I enjoy all of Ms. Picoult's books. I'll be honest [SPOILER ALERT!!!] I knew how it ended well before we got there. Sometimes, she's predictable... like with this book. I knew that no one killed her. It was entirely too obvious. The author set Emma (the mother) up to be the martyr who watches her son get crucified by the justice system. She also sets the non-AS son up for the same thing in watching his brother go through this and by potentially being the killer. Come on! Just because Jacob is violent and has no grounding on reality doesn't mean that he murders people. PLEASE! Miss Jodi would be in WAY more hot water for her books if she made people that have autism into murderers.
