All Time Favorite! - [13 Nov 2009]
This is one of my favorite novels and I found just as much joy in reading it the second time around as I did the first. It is so perfectly simplistic and unencumbered with sentiment and superfluous imagery, told from the perspective of a 15-year-old autistic...

Interesting premise - lackluster development - [20 Oct 2008]
I had heard so much about this book that I was curious - masterpiece, original, different, listed as one of the 1001 books you need to read in your lifetime... Maybe it was an expectation issue more than anything else.
It is a very well written book...
