Ainda estou a tentar processar este livro.
Eu gostava bastante de Jodi Picoult. Li Vanishing Acts, Change of Heart, e (claro!) My Sister's Keeper.. e apaixonei-me! E depois tudo mudou!
que dramática!
Li Picture Perfect e The Pact e não gostei. Tentei ler The Tenth Circle e desisti a meio. Enfim, isto tudo para explicar que entrei na leitura deste No Seu Mundo um bocado reticente, com a sensação que seria uma perda de tempo.
Felizmente, não foi.

I always zoom through Picoult's books. She's so good at pacing that it is difficult to put it down at night.
But.
The repeated descriptions of Asperger's gets grating. Phrases like "Asperger's is like...." and "Jacob gets upset when his routine is disrupted" are sprinkled throughout the novel so much that I wanted to shout "I get it already!" (And then I felt a little insensitive...) It was still a good read, though. P.S: big spoiler ahead. Don't click unless you've read it already.

I think this could be my favourite Jodi Picoult book. It was another fascinating and beautiful read. The only thing that made me hesitate before giving it a 5 star rating was the fact that for once I could clearly predict the ending. This was actually quite disappointing as, generally I cannot see the twist in Picoult's books until the very end, if at all. However, from about the halfway mark I knew what was going to happen.

This story has the same dynamics with "My SIster's Keeper". It just had a different set of characters and a different "sickness" but "House Rules" is still a must-read. I liked it because I work with special needs children and can relate with the story. However, if you're expecting a really emotional book then it does not compare to "My Sister's Keeper". This one is less emotional and a little bit repetitive. Nevertheless, Picoult is a truly talented writer.

not one of her best work.
