A review by lydiaclaire
Defending Jacob by William Landay

3.0

I can’t say that I didn’t like this book. But I definitely didn’t love it. It had me hooked but mostly it was because I wanted to get past all the annoying characters and parts so that I could see what happened and get to the end.

Jacob Barber is probably the worst and most annoying character I’ve ever read about. I understand that this was probably a choice by the author but wow. It made this book hard to read. I was really annoyed by the cliff hanger ending. I thought it was pointless and I feel that I wasted my time with this book.

The legal jargon was hard to follow as well - something that I can get past if the story line is good enough.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I liked the show better
