What Members Thought
The main character, Christopher, has Asberger's which is a lot like Autism. The entire book is told from his point of view and I think Haddon did a phenomenal job showing the way someone with his condition would think and react in different surroundings. All in all, it was a good book and entertaining on my commute to work. I just felt like the ending could have been more finished. It seemed to end with a few things left untied.

A moving book. Very enjoyable
Listened to audio book on 8/12/10 during drive to and from Fresno. Enjoyed book but glad that I experienced it in this format. Think that I would have found myself doing a lot of skipping over sections in written form. The thoughts of an autistic kid is just too detailed of a depiction. Fast story and the narrator was spot on with his reading.
