Awesome book!
About a 15 year old kid with autism.
Fantastic piece of fiction. I'm about half way through,
reading it between calls at my job.

Hmm, it starts ok and the style is clean and readable, but
after about halfway through I got bored to tears with the
endless tawdry description of things. 6/10 in my opinion,
not one of literatures great works.

autism - and so the book really rang some bells with me. Its
entertaining alright.

My mum's boyfriend read it and he may have it !

He used to get bullied in school, so he used to keep all his
school stuff seperate from the stuff he liked

Like he really liked his bed so he never let any school
stuff touch his bed and stuff like that

bizarre

He sound like a claassic case. Mess with his head and relace
each left sock with another left one and the right with
right. The fun!

My flatmate boasts that his superiour IQ has enabled him to
logically bypass most of the freaky traits associated with
Aspergers! He's an annoying prick most of the time...bypass
that!

hahaha

yeah a lot of 'high performing' people with aspergers have
to compensate for their deficient social 'insincts' by
thinking everything through explicitly; what have i observed
other people doing in the past, would it be normal to say
something like this now? etc. must be a right arse.
