Jacob Hunt is a teenage boy with Asperger's Syndrome. He's hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself to others, and like many children with Asperger's, Jacob has an obsessive focus on one subject - in his case, forensic analysis. He's always showing up at crime scenes, thanks to the police scanner he keeps in his room, and telling the cops what they need to do - and he's usually right. But then one day his tutor is found dead, and the police come to question him. Reluctance to make eye contact, stimulatory tics and twitches, inappropriate gestures, all these can look a lot like guilt. Suddenly, Jacob finds himself accused of murder.

Mais um livro que superou todas minhas expectativas. Jodi Picoult é fantástica. Neste livro ela aborda a síndrome de Asperger, na pele de Jacob, um rapaz de 18 anos que tem todo o carinho e cuidados da mãe. Jodi Picoult sempre aborda assuntos polêmicos e com pesquisa intensiva, onde é retratado alguns sintomas dessa síndrome, suas peculiaridades. Simplesmente maravilhoso, vale a pena ler com certeza!
