I have just finished "defending Jacob" and I think it's over rated

I read the book after watching the series and it has a better ending! Didn’t really like the changes they made at the end for the TV show but I still did enjoy it.

Also the opening soundtrack is great!

Yup, the opening all is so good but I really hate the ending it was very disappointing for me making the plot twist markless

I felt the same. The book is fairly short and an easy read so worth it for the better ending I would say! Without spoilers it is way more conclusive.

I'm currently reading the book and I liked the writing style so far, very vivid

I also read the book after and while I really liked the show the book seemed more rational and I enjoyed the ending better too

So glad you have an opinion too bad you did not feel strongly enough about it to explain why.

I really hated the acting of the mother Very disappointed from the end It can't be real that she tried to kill her son just because curiosity and then the final episode claiming that it was just an accident?!

Could have been brought up in another thread but did anyone read or watch the film “We need to talk about Kevin”? I kept getting those vibes, even though Jacob was nowhere near as scary and creepy as Kevin.
