Catherine Catherine said: "Haddon creates a nice rhythm that slowly builds into a tension in the reader that's shared with the main character, a 15 year old boy with autism. It's a little gut wrenching, and definitely an educational experience. "

Catherine Catherine said: "Memoir of a beyond hellish, nightmare of a childhood dealing with religous fanatacism, racism, and the love between a white girl and her adopted black brother. If you don't cry at the end, you have no soul. Highly recommended. "

Catherine Catherine said: "Didn't finish it, but not because I don't enjoy a good deconstruction of the arts. I had to get on a plane and return it lest I come home to face killer over-due library fines (and if you've ever been a Terp, you'll understand). "
