Dreams,

This whole entry is gna be on books!

Hurray!

My books are here! (: awesome much.

I've got my hands on both books now.

My brother bought it for me yesterday from Kino. Thanks a million!

I was having a hard time deciding if I should read House Rules first or Julie & Julia.

In th end, I gave in t House Rules.

I just can't resist th storyline and coverpage. Hahahhahas.

Have been reading th whole day non stop, loves how most of Jodi Picoult's novels is written from the perspective of several different characters, each taking turns to narrate a chapter.

And I totally love Theo's character in th book and how he talks about Jacob.

So here is th short introduction of House Rule (Taken off th back of th book) - I recommend this read. :

Jacob Hunt is a teenager: brilliant at maths, wicked sense of humour, extraordinarily organised, hopeless at reading social cues. And Jacob has Asperger's. He is locked in his own world - aware of the world outside, and wanting to make a connection. Jacob tries to be like everyone else, but doesn't know how.

When his tutor is found dead, all the hallmark behaviours of Jacob's syndrome - not looking someone in the eye, odd movements, inappropriate actions - start to seem a lot like guilt to the police. And Jacob's mother must ask herself the hardest question in the world: is her child capable or murder?

And here is a part extracted from Theo's perspective:

"I've had to get twenty-four stitches on my face, thanks to my brother. Ten of them left a scar cutting through my left eyebrow, after the time that Jacob knocked over my high chair when I was eight months old. The other fourteen stitches were on my chin, Christmas 2003, when I got so excited about some stupid gift that I crumpled the wrapping paper, and Jacob went ballistic at the sound. The reason I'm telling you this has nothing to do with my brother, though. It's because my mother will tell you Jacob's not violent, but I am living proof that she's kidding herself."
