Almost everybody has read at least one of Jodi Picoult books. I have the pleasure to be an avid reader of “W naszym domu”
(“House rules”).
Have you ever heard about Asperger
Syndrome? The main character, Jacob is a teenager with this kind of
autism. One of the advantages of reading this novel is a practical knowledge,
which should be shared with every average Joe. There are lots of people,
especially young, who have innate problems connected with disabilities in
social contacts, reading people’s emotions and body language, getting in touch
with others, but also aggression, which needs to be controlled.
Jacob is very intelligent person fixed on some
criminal aspects of following by accidents and crimes, a bit like Sherlock
Holmes. He is trying to be on time in this area and helps the police giving
them some crucial ideas. His real problem starts with the death of his tutor, when
he becomes the suspected to be a potential murder. Theo, his brother, also
has his mysteries.
From my point of view this book is very
engaging, keeping our attention and leads us to some implications. A really
important problem of today’s life is presented in a quite convincing way, full
of practical knowledge about the issue, and how to take care about such a
special person, and also what are the influences for daily life of hole family.
I highly recommend this book for people,
who can potentially have contact with people with Asperger Syndrome, as his
family, teacher, friend, shop assistant, policeman, judge, lawyer or
neighbor. It is a must for almost everybody.
