Defending Jacob: A Novel by William Landay
This book was a suggestion from RO , and have her thoughts on it too . If I recall properly, this book was tied for the number 1 spot on her end of the year top 10 books for 2012.
And it rightly deserved that spot. After reading this book all I could say was “Wow”. I hope I never have to be put in the situation this family had to be in. Murder genes, is your son a cold blooded killer, is it wrong if you think he could be? Just a million things in this story and the author wraps it up nicely! I really enjoyed this book, and I’m still not convinced of Jacob’s guilt or innocence. But the things this family goes through during the whole process and how they deal with things when the worst is over, I was just shocked! Yes, even Taylor started to enjoy this book as well on his passing trips through the living room while I listened! Now I’m on to some somewhat nonfiction which is another suggestion of Ro’s, so far she’s 2 for 2, let’s see if she makes it 3 for 3!
TaTa,
