Monster Rat monsterrat — interesting mystery but a bit childish. i would rather recommend this book for 10-year olds

Brian Pennington brianpennington — Can't give this book 5 stars because I knew the answer to the main plot question as soon as the incident happened - can't say much without giving away the story. It took another 400 plus pages to get to the end to verify what I already knew. I thought that the thing Emma did was unrealistic for a mother who has spent her whole life trying to protect her autistic son. I realize that the author had to put this in the novel because she had to have some way to move the plot along. I also understand that she was trying to tell a story that gave the readers insight into autism but I don't think she needed to take over 500 pages to tell it - perhaps we were supposed to figure out the answer early on - I don't know. We had to wade through to the end before she ever explained the entire reason why Jacob did what he did (although, again I knew the reason long before we were told). Even knowing what really happened, I was forced to read (as quickly as possible) on because I didn't know if the author would end it the way I was hoping. There really wasn't an ending as such; the reader had to determine in a way if everyone understood everything and in a way, that's not a bad thing. We don't know about Emma's life following all this, but again, we can surmise. All in all, worth the read and kudos to Jodi for always taking up a cause in her novels and teaching us something about her subject. 3-1-14 Addendum Read again and listened to the audio for a library book club and felt the same way I did in my original review except that I didn't really say what bothered me the most about this novel and that is the way nobody would listen to what Jacob tried to tell them. Even though he didn't always say things in a way they would necessarily immediately understand, his family should have been much more aware of what he was trying to tell them. After all, they knew him very well and instead of taking the time to really LISTEN, they just assumed that what they saw on the surface was correct. It was very frustrating to read but I suppose Jodi did that on purpose to show how frustrating it would be to live with Asperger's both for the person with it and the people around him. Also...the ending rather SUCKED! To wade through this long book, knowing the answer the whole time, and then to get that ending??? She more or less tied it up but not enough. Probably should have dropped 1/2 star just because of that!
