Title: House Rules
This is a very in-depth study into the psyche of a young boy who has Asperger’s and his stressed out mother and brother. Jacob, the young boy in question is accused of murdering his social skills tutor. I really was enjoying this story immensely until I got close to the halfway point and it all of a sudden just felt like overkill. I feel like the story became stagnant with describing yet again all this troubled young boy’s symptoms and not progressing the story line. I am sorry to say it lost my interest and I had such high hopes for this manuscript. It is good, if you sit down with this book and make it through the other side please leave your thoughts.
