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

@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.

Thank you.

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

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.

Great book.

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.

this was the best book i ever read! if you get the chance to read it, read it. i know its $30 but its worth it.
