What Members Thought
This was an interesting and fast read. I did not mind the autistic narrator, I truly am not a fan of English literature. To me it is had to get through the lingo. Overall it was a good read, it would have been better if I understood some of the lingo and then it could have had a better flow to it.
I absolutely loved this. It's a bit sad, a bit sweet. I have never had a book bring me into the mind of someone who is Austistic. Brilliant! You feel yourself how the world might feel too tight, too itchy at times, and baffling to navigate. A truly great read.

Interesting look into a mind that works differently than most of ours. The author is able to maintain our interest throughout the entire book. It is what it is.
I started this book with high hopes, but I honestly got bored with it halfway through. The narrator's voice is rather dull and I even found myself a little annoyed with the narrator at times. It did remind me of how differently people with Asperger's can think about things. In the end, though, I just wasn't wowed by this book, but I do like the last sentence: "...I wrote a book and that means I can do anything."
