NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY
Entertainment Weekly • The Boston Globe • Kansas City Star
“A legal thriller that’s comparable to classics such as Scott Turow’s Presumed Innocent . . . Tragic and shocking, Defending Jacob is sure to generate buzz.”—Associated Press
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Andy Barber has been an assistant district attorney for two decades. He is respected. Admired in the courtroom. Happy at home with the loves of his life, his wife, Laurie, and teenage son, Jacob.
Then Andy’s quiet suburb is stunned by a shocking crime: a young boy stabbed to death in a leafy park. And an even greater shock: The accused is Andy’s own son—shy, awkward, mysterious Jacob.
Andy believes in Jacob’s innocence. Any parent would. But the pressure mounts. Damning evidence. Doubt. A faltering marriage. The neighbors’ contempt. A murder trial that threatens to obliterate Andy’s family.
It is the ultimate test for any parent: How far would you go to protect your child? It is a test of devotion. A test of how well a parent can know a child. For Andy Barber, a man with an iron will and a dark secret, it is a test of guilt and innocence in the deepest sense.
How far would you go?
Praise for Defending Jacob
“Ingenious . . . Nothing is predictable. All bets are off.”— The New York Times
“Stunning . . . a novel that comes to you out of the blue and manages to keep you reading feverishly until the whole thing is completed.”—The Huffington Post
“Gripping, emotional murder saga . . . The shocking ending will have readers pulling up their bedcovers to ward off the haunting chill.”— People
“The hype is justified. . . . Exceptionally serious, suspenseful, engrossing.”— The Washington Post
“Even with unexpected twists and turns, the two narratives interlock like the teeth of a zipper, building to a tough and unflinching finale. This novel has major motion picture written all over it.”— The Boston Globe
“Yes, this book came out in January. No, we are not done talking about it.”— Entertainment Weekly

展現一種非常具有力度的真實,一種絕境的經曆,一種人類普遍睏境的摺射……但我感覺全書與Jacob本身並無太大關係……
評分讀完小說,對情節還曆曆在目,但無法理解到底小說要說什麼,因為母親對孩子的懷疑,最後母親選擇瞭結束自己和孩子的生命,這部小說讓我搞不清這是在說傢人應該緊密溝通還是在說法律製度的不完善,有點暈瞭

他,是一个受人尊敬的检察官,经验丰富、人品端正。他,不逢迎拍马、不见风使舵,无论手上的案子是否有胜算,一律坚持原则诉诸司法审判。然而,当他的独子成为杀人案的嫌疑犯时,他毫不犹豫地湮灭证据并公然撒谎。对此,他没有一点点的内疚或挣扎。因为,对儿子的挚爱,让他无...
評分正如书名《永远没有的真相》一样,看到了小说的最后我也是不敢肯定谁是真正的凶手,在感性面前理性构建起来的庄严的堡垒都分崩离析。第四部开头的时候引用了《美国犯罪学与公共政策季刊》的一句话,“据我们所知,我们无法具体理解人们行动背后的理由,很可能永远也无法理解。...
評分 評分Not a well written book, though it was listed as the best seller in NYC bestseller list (which is why I started reading.) Each character in the book acts in a monotone way, stories go really slowly, I was surprised that I actually finished it. Anyway, not...
