I didn't like it. I'm sorry guys because no one here will probably like my comment, but this has been on my mind. I have Aspergers Syndrome, and a pretty severe case of it too. But the thing is, Jacop Hunt is a characature all the way and even though this is fiction, I am worried because I keep hearing people say that "oh I didn't know a thing about aspergers till I read Jodi's book!". No, Jacop is a characature and the wording was rather discriminatory too. Please consider. Hope i didnt offend
@MsPhoenix42 Continued... I hope I did not offend anyone but I just had to say this. What was hurtful all the more is the fact that I actually like Jodi Picoult.
I started reading this book today. I'm only 40 pages into it and I already love it! I also read her other book "Sing You Home". That was an AMAZING book! It really emphasized my passion for music, and helped me to understand friends I have that are gay. She's an amazing author.
an i never read after that untill now when someone left a book at my shop n after a couple months hadnt come back for it so i decided that i was going to read it.. thank u so much jodie for getting me into reading.. because now a fello worker from my work place is going to lend me the hobbit.. the firstt big book i ever began reading.. <3
i cant wait till this awesome book becomes a movie... the first book i have read since i was a child and began reading a book called the hobbit .. i got a few chapters in when i got in a fight with my sister..

Autopsies of autistic people? Hmmmm, taking into account the level of communication and empathy (not) going on in the world there will be plenty to chop and slice :-0. Nothing equally gross going on in this book though, it's actually insightful and compassionate. Small gem: a coke on yellow thursday (or whatever it was). Move over DSM IV.
the book is good....and there are only a few of Jodi Picoult's novels I haven't read. I just want to know why the picture on the cover was chosen. Is this a picture of your relative?

I really want to read this book. I'm always interesting in seeing how authors interpret the condition of autism/aspergers

She really does her homework when she writes a novel. Love her.
