The most fantastic book I have read in a very long time. Wonderfully written, so clever, witty and inspirational.
A great book! I had real empathy for the characters in this novel. Having taught students on the autistic spectrum for 31 years, I found the subject matter to be accurate and moving. I could really relate to the situations and subject matter.
