Defending Jacob (Meriah’s Pick)
Discussion:
Meriah- Really liked it! Liked how it was written from the father’s point of view. Ending was crazy. Would recommend. 4/5
Ali- Really really glad I finished!!Most I’ve read in a day since collage, 250pgs. Liked how the case was built. Liked the two parent’s points of view. Hard to predict. Would recommend. 4/5
Jocelyn- Loved it!! Loved that it was written from the dad’s point of view. Loved all the law stuff and the writing style. The back and forth between past and present. Would definitely recommend. 4/5
Julie- Really enjoyed. Could be a miniseries or movie. Thought the book could have ended in Jamaica. Didn’t want to believe he did it, looking for the happy ending always. Roller coaster of a book. Would recommend. 4/5
