I really enjoy Jodi Picoult's novels, and jump at the chance to read her current book. She will take a situation or subject matter that is current in today's world and put a spin on it. There are many of her stories that I have no idea how they will end, and some of those endings really make me think.
Her newest book, "House Rules", was an okay read, but not one of my favorites. Her main character has Asperger's syndrome, an affliction that has recently been in the news and brought to the public's attention on a reality show. It does bring awareness to this problem that many families have and mentions that autism, which Asperger's is part of, could be caused by children's vaccinations.
While many of her past novels bring an ending that just "blows my mind", this is one I had figured out after the first few chapters. Maybe that is why I think this is not one of her best. I still look forward to what she does next though.
