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 in his suburban Massachusetts county for more than twenty years. He is respected in his community, tenacious in the courtroom, and happy at home with his wife, Laurie, and son, Jacob. But when a shocking crime shatters their New England town, Andy is blindsided by what happens next: His fourteen-year-old son is charged with the murder of a fellow student.
Every parental instinct Andy has rallies to protect his boy. Jacob insists that he is innocent, and Andy believes him. Andy must. He’s his father. But as damning facts and shocking revelations surface, as a marriage threatens to crumble and the trial intensifies, as the crisis reveals how little a father knows about his son, Andy will face a trial of his own—between loyalty and justice, between truth and allegation, between a past he’s tried to bury and a future he cannot conceive.
Award-winning author William Landay has written the consummate novel of an embattled family in crisis—a suspenseful, character-driven mystery that is also a spellbinding tale of guilt, betrayal, and the terrifying speed at which our lives can spin out of control.
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

冗长冗长太冗长,几乎所有的角色都让人讨厌,也是醉了……Defend的其实不是Jacob而是me。
评分追剧之前先看书,的确是一开始就停不下来。细致的庭审过程并不觉得冗长,Logiudice那段openings尤为精彩。Andy作为律师的专业性没得说,但一涉及到对儿子的判断就变得盲目主观,所以除了法律漏洞和校园欺凌之外,一家人的心理健康也是个值得讨论的话题:刻意忽视的问题并不会自己解决。结尾看似是突然反转其实早就埋下了伏笔,反而显出一种不正常的”合理”。
评分不能说是本优秀的小说,是会一口气读完不会中间放弃的小说

评分it's more like the father is defending himself, not Jacob. He's trying everything he could to prove that his family is impeccable and his son does not have the murder gene that might come from him. 进程太慢,很多details unnecessary
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。...
评分这本书时刻都在给着我惊喜。 ——或许用“惊喜”这样的词并不恰当,对着这样一本深刻严肃的法庭小说。然而若仅从故事的构思、写法以及讲述故事的方式上而言,这的的确确是一本扣人心弦、趣味性很强的小说。而在这样的外在形式之下,其关于犯罪、关于、法律制度、关于家庭、关...
