Jodi Picoult is far from my favorite author, so all you Picoultites out there, you might as well skip this review. I am interested in stories about people on the autistic spectrum with Asperger behaviors, so I thought I would give this one a try. Sigh. I should have known better. In Ms. Picoult's heavy-handed hands, the behavior of the protagonist with Aspergers is exaggerated and twisted simply for the benefit of the plot. Eating only foods of a certain color, but on different days, is not traditionally Aspergerian - maybe eating foods of the same color - but not blue food on Tuesday, yellow on Saturday, etc. etc. At one point, the protagonist re-orders some CDs that have fallen in alphabetical order, but children with Aspergers do not usually have a need to order everything they come across - if they have never seen it before and it is not within their area of fixation, they are more likely not to notice the disorder, or if they notice it, to ignore it. But because this is a plot point, suddenly it becomes a symptom of Aspergers. Further I have never read anywhere that Aspergers is a genetic disorder - but in this novel there is a clear implication that this is the case. And then we have the usual stuff that drives me absolutely CRAZY which is having the characters behave in ways that no one else in the world would do. For example, imagine yourself a mother with a son who has Aspergers and is on trial for murder, and that child has meltdowns whenever things go out of his routine so he is now regularly having meltdowns due to the pressure of the trial. Now imagine it is three a.m. on a February night in Vermont. Would you leave your son, run (yes, you heard me - run) across town to the office of your son's lawyer who has never shown an overt sexual interest in you, and have sex with him? Somehow I think most of us would be trying to get a good night's sleep, not catch pneumonia, and maintain a professional relationship with this man. That is why we will never be Picoult characters. Now, imagine yourself the defense attorney,and you have just heard at least three witnesses explain how Asperger children answer questions extremely literally (such as tossing a tent at you if you asked them to 'pitch a tent'). Do you think that you would ask your client a question like "Were you sorry you killed the girl?" No, because if the Aspergerian witness did not kill the girl, he would simply answer "No" since he hadn't killed her and therefore could not be sorry that he had done so. Sigh. Remind me not to try Picoult again.

Eh, unimpressed with the prologue. Breaking of the fourth wall, sure, whatever, but unless there is a reason for the prologue (beyond the general 'this is what happened (in general) in the previous books') I'm just not feeling it. I suppose I just dislike the thought of "everything that is going to happen in the book happened in the past, so obviously you know that things are going to be all right (to a degree)". Mac's harder in this book--more world weary, much more cautious, and she does things now that she wouldn't have thought to do in the first book. But she still tries to be, hm, not softer, exactly, but sometimes she dresses up and tries to remember the good times in her life and that just makes me like her more. It is refreshing to have a main character who is aware that she is pretty, is comfortable with it, and has the confidence to match. She's tougher as well, is more willing to get her hands dirty, and still regrets it. I can't help but like her, even if I hate how she narrates the story (the times when she says something that gives indication of knowledge of the future or breaking the fourth wall). Which brings me to a fight scene. I'm sorry, author, that you do not want to (or feel like) writing out a fight scene, but glossing it over makes me feel like that the next page or so is just some sort of cheap summary. And yes, part of my annoyance is my hate for breaking the fourth wall. One of the things that I love the most about these books is the complexity that is Mac's relationship with other people, and it's different from person to person, as it should be. Never full trust on her part to anyone, always trying to think ahead of others, of keeping stories straight, of giving out crumbs of information when needed. In these books power is important, and knowledge is one of the greatest of powers, and it's something Mac knows and uses to the best of her ability. The way she deals with Barrons is different from the way she deals with V'lane or with Jayne or with Rowena. The sometimes childish fights she gets into with Barrons? Makes me ridiculously happy. The ending was one great honking cliffhanger. Also, (view spoiler). Eh. I just feel like the real emotional impact, the oh my god, what will happen next?! is mitigated by the fact that we know it's going to be all right in the end (because if the huge honking foreshadowing beforehand wasn't a clue, the Note to the Reader afterward is like a sledgehammer to the face). It just--I feel like walking up to the author, shaking her, and going, "Just do it, the readers will be fine." Overall, about 3.5 stars, rounding up to 4.
