    I was nervous to buy this because the price was so good on such a pretty item and I was worried that would mean there was some kind of undisclosed chip or scratch but nothing was disclosed because there was nothing and the item was perfectly as described! It was shipped out quickly despite seller being marked as out of town! Everything piece was individually bubble wrapped and packaged with a fragile sticker so everything came in in perfect condition! Very happy!

  • Good Read and interesting to many people.

    I am the only one in my book club that gave this book a #3. I just didn't like it and I believe that is a personal thing. The book affects you on many different levels.

  • Enjoyable and Enlightening - Great Read!

    Fantastic book on many levels. To a degree it is a mystery, but it is also so much more than that. Beautifully and inventively told in the first person through the eyes of an autistic teenager. It gave me great insights into the life of a relative I have who is on the autism spectrum. It was hard to put down and easy to read. Inspiring as well.

  • A good read

    Haddon is a brilliant storyteller. Presenting the English town Swindon from the perspective of a problem child, an autistic savant and math genius who claims, "I see everything," Haddon gives us an alternative view of the entire world and universe, strange yet valid. It is fun to follow this child as he solves crimes and tackles life problems. The book is such a great read! No wonder it garnered so many prestigious awards! Recommend highly!

  • Makes you think.

    Cannot put this little book down. Read half in a short time in one sitting. Unlike most of what I buy to read. The main character is awesome.

  • Dealing with a child with a mental illness.

    This is a story inside the mind of a mentally ill child & what his parents, neighbors & teachers deal with on a daily basis. I found it interesting & troubling at the same time.
